Day 1 of Turn 3 Over

The 1st Day of Turn 3 is over. Overall, it was a good day for the Union, which took Kingston and retook Newtown. They failed,  however, to take Sagarville. The Confederates made another attempt to take Cedar Grove and were successful this time. Minor cavalry actions at Newport, Orr Taven and Atkins Ford all went to the Union, although Orr Tavern probably would not have been taken if it had not been for an additional battalion arriving at the Confederate rear.

There will be continued action on Day 2 of Turn 3, with fighting at Newport (again), Strawderman, Sagarville (again), Mt. Vernon, and Arlington. At times the engagements might not seem to align with orders given, but they do. There was a lot of cross marching and timing differences in orders from the opposing sides. At times in Turn 3, opposing units will use the same stretch of road at different times without seeing or engaging each other. There is a lot of interesting movement, with some "near misses" on the march.

Stay tuned for news on Day 2 engagements starting this weekend.
