Invasion Maryland - Turn 13

Union forces were becoming so 'pesky' close to Sharpsburg that Longstreet has ordered his remaining divisions west of the Potomac (Walker & Jones) to stay on that side and find a ford further north.
D.H.Hill is now on the west bank preparing to cross at Williamsport. His men captured a Union cavalry officer who had stopped for a pee in the bushes, obviously completely unaware that an entire enemy division was coming up the pike from the south! McClellan finally seems to realise that Rebel forces are attempting to cross at multiple locations, and Pleasonton's troopers appear to be criss-crossing the landscape like headless chickens trying to make sense of it all ....

More and more Union forces emerge from the 'fog of war', but the plan is just
about still intact - consolidate near Downsville.
