Random event dr= 6+5= 11, No effect.

Leader transfers: Grant and Hancock to Barlow, Warren to Robinson.

Pre turn: my plans are all trying to survive-I do want to kick Gillmore out of Richmond and try to save Early-but as Ed said-I have a number of problems!

Pre turn: My plans are simple, "Smash 'em up!". Hancock will squeeze Longstreet between II Corps and the anvil of Warren and Sedgwick. Second, do something about Heth. Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it?

Init roll: C6 U5 CSA

Init #1: Early assault Kautz
Heth to f2
corps assault dr= 1 ok
assault +1, Lee +1, 2:3= -1, artillery (dr= 1)= NE, tactical +2 for a +3 attack
C4 Fa, Heth f3 advances
U4 Dr result, Mix f3 lose 1 ammo, Spear f3 lose 1 ammo, 37 Colored Regiment lose 1 ammo. Retreat to 5727

Well that gives him some room.

U6 1DR, Turner f3 mnlvl 9 disorg lose 1 ammo retreats to 3423

I retreated by priority 4b but it cost me an extra manpower. I didn't want to get trapped in the Richmond perimeter.

That run helped-I was worried about leaving Pickett in place too long.

Wilcox recaptures the Capital.

U2 1Da result, Birney f4 disorg mnlvl 11 lose 1 ammo, no advance.

Here comes MY medicine.

Birney pushes Kershaw back.

Init roll: C1 U1 CSA
Day ends?
Grant dr= 6, fails.

That helps -lets get this over with!

That hurt! This is one of the few days that ended shortly that I really wanted to have continue. It would be interesting to see how well I could have done against Longstreet and the rest of II Corps units. Despite Scott getting 8 inits to my 1, I end up gaining 2 VP after the turn ends.

Walker forages successfully.
Chapman forages successfully.
