Invasion Maryland - Turn 21

Strategic situation

Turn 21 - 2:40pm, September 12th. At Williamsport a token force stays to engage the Union troopers on the east bank. The bulk of Jackson's men continue to cross at Falling Waters and head for Downsville, where Yankee cavalry opposition has melted away.

Rebel guns continue to bombard across the river

Jackson's wing of the army ploughs on through Downsville

At Jones Crossroads the Federals have been digging in and keeping their units out of range of massed Rebel artillery. But more and more forces from both sides are arriving on the scene.

Longstreet faces the enemy to the north and to the south.

Union columns are also advancing on Jones Crossroads from the south, creating a big tactical headache for Longstreet. The good news is that JEB Stuart's cavalry has been rampaging across that area, destroying limbered guns and supply wagons on the roads and generally causing delay and mayhem.

Union forces head north from Sharpsburg, approaching Bakersville.
