WinSPCW Scenario Testing - Antietam, morning, September 17, 1862

[mkr8683]

Though I've yielded immediate command of the cornfield to the rebels, they're close enough that Meade's artillery can hit them hard. His two remaining batteries, by virtue of their own unsupported fire, managed to drive away the entire brigade of Hays's Louisiana Tigers. However, on Meade's left flank, Ewell's artillery has gotten a clear view through the smoke and opened up on Pennsylvania Reserves.


I impulsively ordered a charge by Doubleday over on the right, but that was a mistake, as many of his regiments are out of ammunition or are too suppressed to move. Predictably, most of the regiments were driven away, and Jackson's artillery suddenly reappeared to the west and knocked out the remainder of my supporting artillery on that flank. Doubleday has met with disaster, and with the situation on the left going only a little better, it looks like I'll have to give it all up.
