Union forces advancing from Clinton and Twin Fords engaged the 3rd Kentucky Infantry (CSA) at Indian Rock Manor on August 17.
 |
| The 3rd Kentucky Infantry (CSA) opens fire on two Indiana regiments advancing from the north. A section of artillery deploys to the rear of the infantry. |
 |
| As one regiment held the 3rd Kentucky in place, the other moved at the double quick (as directed by AI, not script) around on the Confederate regiment's flank. No matter which Indiana regiment the 3rd Kentucky faced, the other was firing directly on its flank. |
 |
| As the Indiana Regiments inflicted heavy losses on the 3rd Kentucky, additional Union infantry came over the hill from Twin Fords. The Confederates broke before the newly arrived infantry could get into position to fire. |
The rout of the 3rd Kentucky represents the first actual rout of an infantry regiment during the campaign. It was in full retreat when it was hit by a shell from Union artillery, triggering the rout. The regiment will reform at Almshouse Ford on the 18th. The 3rd Kentucky routed in-game before they reached their casualty threshold for the engagement.
