This is my biggest by many times over and I just have to post it.
I'm playing as the CSA in the W/ Kentucky 1861 Campaign and its the Summer of 1864. The North has been pretty timid in the East largely because of some early victories that allowed me to build up a decent army.
I noticed that the AI randomly garrisoned (what I thought was) a couple Corps in Alexandria, Va. So I jumped on the opportunity to lay siege with my 4 Corps (led by PT Beuregaurd with Corps commanders Jackson, Lee, and Longstreet).
At first there was a small battle... and to my horror I saw that he actually had a lot more troops than I knew in the area (and possibly in D.C.). So I could only watch and wait to see if they would come out and they did.

Main Battle
Fortunately I double my manpower from the first

Oddly enough Jackson's Corps was utterly obliterated and probably took the brunt of casualties. The only thing left in his Corps is now Arty and some of the divisions are totally gone. Blamed for heavy losses obviously
