Brawner's Farm- Turn 2

"Second post in the aar.

The 2nd Wisconsin falls back slightly to form a line with the 19th Indiana and 7th Wis which have advanced from Brawner's woods.  Rebel fire is desultory as the units are disordered.  The Union regiments and batteries continue to pour heavy fire into the Confederates, further reducing their ranks.



Turn Two.  Georgia regiments moving up on the Rebel left.  





On the right the crack regiments of the Stonewall Brigade try to pin the Federals in place. 


Volleys exchanged on the Union right/Rebel leff.



 Poague's and Carpenter's batteries come on the field.  Carpenter's unlimbers and fires.  The 2nd Wis. suffers a withering fire and is disordered.  One section of Carpenter's battery goes low on ammunition.




In the Union half of the turn the 56th. Pa and 76th NY move on through Brawner's woods.



The Rebels are massing the Georgia Brigade to outflank the Union line on turn 3.  

To be continued....
