Good-ish.  My positions have been shored up, but now my entire army is exhausted or close to it.  Then again, yours isn't exactly in good shape, either...

I think as soon as Hill's corps gets into position (which will be an interesting race to see if I can get there ahead of IX Corps), then you will have a tough time accomplishing much.

Then again, maybe I'll just abandon The Wilderness and fall back a bit.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Because they are all proudly printed in the USA.

My house, by the way, is in the half-hex just northeast of hex 2101.  :nerd: 

Interestingly, there was a battle here in November 1863, in which 2200 Union troops assaulted 2000 excellent entrenched confederate troops well-supported by artillery and killed or captured almost 1700 of them, while losing only about 400 of their own men.  It has been called the best small-action Union victory of the war (the Battle of Rappahannock Station) and I brig it up every time some Confedotard starts going off about the "glorious Southern Army" and the "incomparable Bobby Lee" (who was present).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Interesting.
Looked this battle up and it seems the rebels were rather inexplicably caught by surprise. It seems they assumed the fighting was over for the day and didn't keep their guard up.

have you guys stopped playing?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Not at all, although it has slown down a bit, since I am going to be out of work, so I've been rather busy. And I won't get much done over the next few days either.

It is going terribly for the Union though. Another short day, followed by rain for the next three days.

So General Berkut was shot down by a sniper, or what?

We kept playing for a while, then realized it really isn't all that great of a scenario, so we quit.

As Habs put it: Move. Move. Dig. Dig. Dig. Move. Move. Dig. Dig.

Rinse and repeat.
