It is 8:00am on the second day (turn 21) and this will be the tabletop situation for the Rebs as the battle begins. You may notice that the bottom half of this table was the top half of the previous table !
Longstreet has the divisions of Hood and Wilcox ( formerly Kemper's) fully deployed, with Fitzhugh Lee's troopers on their eastern flank. Anderson does not have enough command points to enter the battlefield area, nor would his 'battle weary' status make it advisable.
Robertson's cavalry is off-table to the west - again, not enough command points to take part in the action. Of Jackson's Corps, Ewell will come on by road with Lee and the artillery at 8:00 - A.P.Hill and Starke will enter in battle line at 8:30 a little further west . I don't know exactly what we are going to encounter, but it's all or nothing now !
We will probably call this one the Battle of Cutler's Farm, to distinguish it from the previous battle fought over partly the same terrain. Hopefully we will get to start it this week.
