Port Republic, 15mm

 The Battle of Port Republic was fought on June 9, 1862, in Rockingham County, Virginia, as part of Confederate Army Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's campaign through the Shenandoah Valley during the American Civil War. Port Republic was a fierce contest between two equally determined foes and was the most costly battle fought by Jackson's Army of the Valley during its campaign. 

The field of battle

The Yanks are revealed, as the Stonewall Brigade advance

And the Rebs go prone as their guns hammer away at the enemy.

And that is some effective fire!

A Yankee Regiment reels back, whipped.

And again the Confederate batteries fire a deadly volley.  Captain Poague proves his worth ad a battery commander.

Across the Valley the Yanks push back my Skirmishers.

And still Poague gives the Yanks problems.

Almost single handedly the Rebel guns thump away at the Yanks.

Jacksons reinforcements arrive.

And I send the Rebels forward

Wheat's Tigers close in on the Yankee left  up the road.

And true to form Wheat foes in with the bayonet.  The Union response is poor.

The Zouaves are victorious

And the Union are whipped

And the lines close

Brigadier Winder leads the elite Stonewalls forward

And yet more Rebel reinforcements arrive

And it comes down to volleys

But the Stonewalls are Elite, and my dice are running high.

In with the bayonet

And it's all over as I steamroller two regiments back.  Nice thumb on the lense too.
