Invasion Maryland - Turn 10

Scouting has revealed that a large chunk of the Union Army seems to be converging quickly on Sharpsburg. Another corps is moving northwest towards Williamsport, and quite probably yet another could be making due north for Hagerstown. As McClellan is being unexpectedly aggressive, Lee needs to consolidate his army quickly to avoid being caught at a numerical disadvantage - I am thinking maybe in the area just east of Downsville.




As Longstreet continues to push his divisions northwards up through Sharpsburg to meet with Lee and Jackson, more and more Union infantry are starting to appear just beyond Antietam Creek, a little too close to the town for comfort. Stuart's troopers are starting to incur some losses holding them at bay, and it could be that elements of Longstreet's command will have to deploy soon to counter this. I don't really want to get into a major engagement here.


SHARPSBURG - 11:00am, Turn 10. Fitzhugh Lee's troopers under serious pressure at the Rohrbach Bridge.
Wade Hampton's men at the Middle Bridge may soon be facing the same.
