July 18th was another active day of campaigning, with five engagements. Although most units have been engaged by now, a few units "saw the elephant" during skirmishes on the 18th. For the most part, the day went well for the Confederates. They held at Sagarville and Strawderman and re-took Arlington after it had been occupied by Federal cavalry for a day. Union troops occupying Newtown, Kingston, and Mt Vernon, however, have denied the Confederates control of the Kingston Road and the ability to easily move units east and west. The Confederates also failed to take Newport for the 2nd day in a row.
Most units will rest in place for the rest of the week. Expect another attempt by Joseph Wheeler to take Newport, and a skirmish in the far east at Rowland Mills. Turn 3 should be wrapped up with reports out over the coming weekend as we head into the home stretch of the 1st month of the campaign. Turn 4 will take place in September. Between turns 4 and 5, new units will be coming onto the field and strengthening each army. Players will also have the option of upgrading unit weapons.
