Sharpsburg ACW

Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia fought Union Major General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek on September 17, 1862 

This was the first field army–level engagement in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War to take place on Union soil. It was the bloodiest day in American history, with 22,726 dead, wounded, or missing on both sides. 

The Union Army suffered heavier casualties than the Confederates, but the battle was a major turning point in the Union's favor.

Sharpsburg.  The Club President did an excellent job with this terrain.

The Union come on against a defensive Rebel position

And they march on the Antietam creek to our front.

The Confederate reinforcements come on.

And Lee throws back the assault standing with Hill's Division.

The Rebels block the tord

The Yankee cavalry gets too close, and is routed.

A great card run for the Confederates sets up our defence.  The Union are rocked back.

And two rolls of double 6 in one game halves the Union morale.

The end shot, with the Union falling back on all sides.

And the Young Napoleon retreats   ole Bobby Lee has whupped them fine...

Great game, and what a fabulous look.
