Union:
Center looking towards the right flank:
The 23rd Ohio lead by future President Rutherford B. Hayes on the Union left:
Confederate:
Right Flank and Center:
General Garland leading two North Carolina regiments onto the field:
Turns 1 & 2
First blood. The 23rd NC attacks a small unit of WV Cavalry acting as a picket towards the crest of the mountain and with one volley drives them from the field, but not before the cavalry inflicted a stand loss on the North Carolinians and disordered them:
The 30th Ohio, a large regiment, moves up to avenge the WV cavalry. The 23rd NC fires first (in RFF defensive fire occurs before fire by units whose turn it is) but still being disordered its fire is ineffective. The North Carolinians brace themselves for a return volley from the fresh Union regiment--which proceeds to roll a "1"! The 23rd NC dodges a bullet (pun intended):
This was the situation at the end of Turn 2: I'll continue the report in further posts.
