This time the Union won on turn 7. Burnside caught Lee in a classic forked check. Both of Lee’s Baggage Trains were exposed and he couldn’t cover them both before Burnside activated.
As I work to improve my videos, I would appreciate any suggestions. My next project is to include some text commentaries and a turn marker.
I semi-retired at 47. I suffered a sever brain injury at 25. I have written 3 books about living with brain injury and have had a regular column in the Brain Injury Alliance of MN's quarterly mag since 1999. I received my BA in English with honors in 2014. One of my avocations is developing simulation games. Weather permitting, I enjoy a round of Disc Golf whenever possible.

Arghhh you spoil the battle !!!! In the first sentence !!! I play Union again my child (10 years) on sunday. You know what ? He played like an aggressive Jackson !! His confederate corps attacked first my poor 1st Union corps : I had to retreat then unpacked in order to rally my divisions. But Stonewall followed me and stroke again…. My baggage train has been caught or destroyed…. And I loose the battle in turn 3…
In watching the game again, I realized that on turn five, rather than do a flank attack, the Confederate cav could have sacked the Union bags (at 6:15 in the video). This game should have been a turn 5 confederate victory!

I really like that about 3.0! Previously, it always felt like you were gunning each other to death. Now it is intense.
I take your hint, Next time I won’t mention who wins in the description.
