Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

Turns 92-95, I finally managed to catch Murgaks out in Mississippi, with Gilbert going face-first into Hardee's works. 245_Hardee Win.png This was the result of a cheeky last minute railroad reinforcement to some works maintained by militia. 246_Mississippi.png Murtagks was also forced to fall back ...

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

Turns 89-91, As we entered 1865 there was a slight rise in tempo. The biggest even was that the Union unfortunately managed to catch 2 CSA raiding stacks. RIP (though Van Dorn did just survive with some troops) 243_Van Dead.png 242_RIP Raiders.png On the other side of the ledger I rolled a success o...

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

Turns 85-88, As we headed into winter there was continued manoeuvring, but no large-scale engagement. In Arkansas Murtagks squeezed Magruder from the east with Little Rock cut off in the west. 233_Arkansas.png Magruder has been made a Corps under AS Johnston. They will continue to retreat towards th...

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

Turns 82-84 Along the Mississippi, Action was limited to MO and Arkansas. Murtagks pulled a cheeky naval invasion by river into Littlerock, and unfortunately just beat Magruder back there. 231_Littlerock.png These divisions can't be thrown back by Magruder on his own. In MO Murtagks finally moved Gr...

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

Whoops. 216_Mississippi.png On the positive side, Shelby managed to inflict a defeat on some Union cavalry in MO. 227_Shelby.png The Union forces continue to sit outside St Louis, and...

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

With Texas secure I brought Wade Hampton back to the CSA heartland by boat down the Red River. 215_Texas.png I think I'll need every last man hanging on to the heartland to run out the clock...

Murtagks is a diligent university student so there are gaps when he has an exam coming up as I don't want to lead him astray

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

AS Johnston has managed to hold his ground outside St Louis far longer than I would have thought possible. This is a great result tying down McDowell's army whilst ...

Re: Naturamix (CSA) vs Murtagks (USA) Covid Lock-down Game 2

Turns 72-74 Sea Front. Murtagks has 5 divisions sitting in Texas and not holding any victory cities, which is great. 207_Texas.png I will watch them carefully, but I won't bother them if they just sit there. I suspect Murtagks is about to withdraw some of them back to the LA front as I have brought ...
