| Union right flank under McCook |
Last Tuesday night I went over to Rick's place for a Battle Cry game, the scenario was the second day of Chickamauga. Gary and I were the Confederate commanders, Longstreet in the centre and Polk on the right, under the overall command of Braxton Bragg. Rick commanded the Union forces under Rosecrans. Both sides had five cards, with the Confederates moving first, and six flags required for victory.
The Confederates had early success attacking on the right flank but the Union forces slowly but surely pegged them back. Most of the fighting was concentrated on the Confederate right flank and centre, with progressively worse cards, making things difficult for both sides. In desperation the Union forces played a Sharp Shooter card to kill Polk and draw the game 5-5. The hard fighting continued and was finally decided in the centre with the Confederates narrowly winning 6-5.
