Sharpeville Campaign : Turn 9

Lee has consolidated the dispositions of the Army of Northern Virginia
  well enough to accept the challenge of battle . . .

Pope has taken me a little off guard by advancing aggressively against Jackson - but, although I know Porter's Corps is just off to the northwest, I feel that Lee's army is in a strong position so the Confederates are standing their ground !  This means that a table battle is declared, with me as the defender deciding the precise geographical area of the battlefield as shown below . . . .



The Sharpeville Battlefield - the road layout on the map is designed so that any
4x2 set of squares can be reproduced using the terrain units we own.

 

The Union army now gets a small bonus phase with limited command points to 'march to guns' any of their units beyond the area of the battlefield. Campaign moves are suspended until the battle is over, and a full report of the action at Sharpeville will appear on : http://wargameswithmybrother.blogspot.co.uk/ ........ as soon as we can get to fight it !
