Turn 5 is Over

Turn 5 ran from August 1 - 8, 1861.  The tactical engagements were all minor in scale, but there were a few developments of strategic note:

1. The Confederates re-occupied Burlington and Madison (major objectives). These are both strategically important rail towns and their occupation assisted in speeding up the repair of damaged rails and re-establishing supply lines.

2. The Union captured Newport and Clinton (minor objectives)

It is also worth noting that several new regiments appeared on the field during Turn 5, including Federal cavalry, Federal infantry and Confederate infantry units.

Players should receive their Turn 5 reports by the weekend.
