Random dr= 4+5=9, Confederate Command Paralysis

Leader transfers: Torbert to Custer, Hancock to Mott

Attachment Phase: Union Sub-1 reattaches to Crawford.

Pre turn: I just hope to survive this turn relatively intact. Because most of the Army of the Potomac is out of supply, I intend to rest as much as possible. The less movement I do the better my chances of foraging will be. I do plan to move Crawford to Orange Court House, if I capture it this turn I can use strategic movement thru Orange County next turn. I might be tempted to have Sheridan attack Stuart if he stays too close to pass up.

Pre-turn: Stuart to Fredericksburg to burn railroads -- get some cavalry on the left flank. Hill keep putting pressure on Spotsylvania Court House. Early hold Sedgwick and slide right. Longstreet hold but be ready to help Hill.

The end of a very short day.

During recovery all out of supply units forage instead of entrenching. Any units at fatigue 0, 1 or 2 can forage, just add their fatigue to their forage roll. Units in Stafford, Orange or Spotsylvania counties must get a modified roll of 2 or less, otherwise it's 3 or less.
Devin, Robinson, Griffin, Chapman, JI Gregg, Potter, Willcox forage successfully. All other Union units become disorganized.
