Interesting outcome

Grant (AI) holding Nashville is faced by two superior armies commanded by Lee and Johnston (across the Cumberland). Lee attacks the entrenched Grant and is defeated twice in the same turn with heavy losses for both sides. At the end of the turn Grant retreats leaving Lee besieging Nashville and in the commentary Lee is congratulated by Congress on his victory and is given a new seniority of 3.
Interesting outcome because the retreat made sense given Grant's vulnerable position after the losses and with a second threatening Confederate army and with Donaldson/Henry still held by the CSA. The reference to Lee's victory did come as a surprise after the double battle defeats but the AGE engine is even more subtle that I expected because its presumably crediting Lee with the victory for forcing Grant to retreat.
