Turn 7 Comments:
Call for Volunteers, Bonds. My replacements are gone, and the carnage has begun yet. We need lots of replacements from here on. I also choose several cav. reg. to scout deep into reb territory and to keep patrol against rebs.

Virgina:
Lee has joined Jackson at Petersburg...but no attack. So, we will march/rail all we can there and prepare for the next punch, the rebs may wait expecting a battle, we may dissapoint them. The rebs have supply issues.

Mississippi:
Sherman/Grant are marching eastward, towards Alabama. Mobile will be stormed. Hamilton is facing a few regiments. It appears the rebs have all retreated eastward into 'bama, except for Gardiner where he appears trapped and blocaded. General Banks takes up his post at NewOrleans gaining 7conscripts/turn for us there.

Kentucky:
We send Crittendon and some nearby brigades to Louisville, the rebs have sent a sizeable cav. force.

Results:
Mobile falls as expected.
Foster does take Wilmington, so the rebs have their supply further diminished.
Hooker, Meade et al are all now at Petersburg, and Lee/Jackson and remain there.

Turn 8
Comments:
Virginia
Another decision, do we force battle at Petersburg with the whole reb army, since Longstreet, Beauregard and Stuart are all adjoining now or do we wait it out and see if ZOC will improve and force a battle on our terms or will supply disappear now with all Wilmington taken.
We decide to wait.

Mississippi:
Hamilton will keep 2div. at Mobile and lead 2 to take the Ft. south of Mobile, we want to enable supply or use naval transports to remake any depots so we need to clear those forts away.
Grant/Sherman continue eastward, Sherman will cross the river and approach Montgomery. We have sent some brigades towards Pensacola last turn and this turn we will assault it. We will sail 2 trasports to there to build a depot.

Results:
Soon as we have the pics from Jim.

Here are the results for turn 8. 8 minor battles, 2 major battles, the Union captured Louisville, and 2 minor naval battles.

Turn 8
Results:
Virginia:
On day2, Lee decides to retreat southward, realizing the whole Union army is now at Petersburg and the CSA army is unable to resupply. It appears that by retreating out of the Petersburg region the CSA loses its military control of the region to the point that the CSA stacks revert to offensive and attack. I base this on the battle report screenshots, its unclear that the rebs, as shown in the battle report, would attempt to assault Peterburg while the map overview shows Lee on defensive posture attempting to march southward...perhaps my opponent knows what was ordered and why.
[ATTACH]11346[/ATTACH]

We inflict serious harm here. As we shall see...

At Harper's Ferry, Va. Wharton leads a cav brigade and takes Harpers Ferry.
Near Atlanta, McCook defends well but gives ground against Bragg and retreats towards Columbus and Grant's command, where we wanted to attach him anyway.
Ft. Smith Ark, was attacked, we begin to seige.
[ATTACH]11347[/ATTACH]


Turn9

The battle at Petersburg with the whole reb army was amazing, I have never seen so many in battle. Lee/Jackson/Longstreet will have to move south or be cutoff stuck at Norfolk. We will drive southward and force them to fight for the rail line to Wilmington. Reynolds and 3divs. at Wilmington will plan on stubbornly defending it as the main reb. stacks are in disarray in Viriginia.

Ga./Ala:
Sherman will march on Montgomery Al, Grant will follow. McCook off his battle against Bragg, surrounded and almost cutoff will naturally assault Columbus, Ga. where a nice, fat depot sits guarded by Pemberton's spent army stack from Mississippi and mucho supply wagons...all which we would love to capture. McCook is near spent but he needs this one.

Louisiana,
Not much else to do but finish off Gardiner if we can.

Ark.
Resting and inactive at the Ft. Smith seige.

Results:
Lee, Longstreet and Ewell get mauled at Garysburg, Beaurgard at Burkeville.
Jackson retreated prior to Garysburg falling and so escaped southward.
Columbus does fall for McCook, the rebs dont move any defense forces there.
Pensacola falls, Gardiner in Ms. gets more beatings for Ord's corps.

The CSA losses are piling up, they have lost effectively 2/3 of their Eastern army in my estimation. Jackson is low on supply and has his retreat blocked.

Turn10:
I see a glorious opportunity to march southward at full speed all the way to Charleston.
Jackson slipped away, and plans to assault Wilmington or at least to counter Reynolds. We will send all southward against Goldsboro...

jeeze thats a slaughter. One wonders how thats explained off. Perhaps seppuku?

Most of them were recuperating from previous wounds. I think that somehow gave them a higher death chance.

I can see the CSA newspaper account "They were all abed recovering from nasty union wounds, when suddenly up rode a dasterdly band of union stragglers bent on slaughter and pillaging. These valiant generals although gereviously wounded attempted to preserve southern virtue, and were cut down in their prime. They were able to drive away the ruffians, but at a great cost. The nation grieves for their gallant loss."
