I may put up a video later this weekend, but the news from Lebanon is not good for the Federals. Brigadier General Solomon Lewis' force was not able to break Confederate lines in Lebanon under Brigadier General John Wharton in time. Parts of Wharton's line gave way, but Lewis was hit from the rear by Taylor's Louisiana Brigade as all of the Federal infantry regiments ran completely out of ammunition and broke in different directions. It will be considered a general rout and all units will be off the field until they reform at a Union held objective for Turn 8.
The 1st Indiana, however, was routed and then fell into Brigadier General Walker's net to the north of Lebanon and was captured in its entirety with its colors. It will be subject to rules concerning prisoners of war, parole and exchanges.
Amazingly, most of the Union units got off the field with positive grades and inflicted many more casualties on the enemy than they received in return, but the combination of being pinned between forces and running out of ammunition was too much.
