Up to Late September 1863
I think I am close to driving a final stake through the Union's morale.
In the West the Federal troops continued to have a no-good, very bad time
There are several examples similar to the above, but just this is shown for brevity. Largely as a result of these the Union (According to the objectives tab) is down to 87% land combat power relative to the CSA. The fact that Murtagks is weaker than me at all is of course a terrible position for him as the attacker.
The union forces in Eastern Kentucky all moved slowly northwards towards Illinois where they were joined by a new Corps under J Dix containing four divisions (new ones I think).
Grant and Sherman have still not made it out of Kentucky as Beauregard has reached the Mississippi, but Berry got out. There seems to be a little supply in Illinois for Dix, Smith and Berry, but (particularly now with my cavalry in the rear) Murtagks' stacks are still low on it. Smith was kicked out of Cairo by Taylor. There isn't a depot anywhere near them let alone one with an uninterrupted supply line.
Since things are going so well in the west I felt happy detaching another two divisions (AP Hill and McLaws) to railroad to Lee for what I suspect will be the final decisive campaign of the game.
Murtagks seems to be going for broke in Virginia. In his position I would probably do the same, but in the process he has thrown McDowell's army into its worst defeat of the game.
Lee is simply too well entrenched, and too good a general to retreat.
With the union reduced to around 7000 power in Virginia I feel confident in counter attacking.
Early has arrived with his three divisions and been re-designated a Corps under the Army of Northern Virginia.
Longstreet will finally move across the river and take Manassas whilst Forney and Early advance up the Shenandoah to close the pincers around McDowell and his huge army.
I will force Murtagks into attacking repeatedly into these strong stacks or watch his army starve and if necessary I will finally move on Washington to crush the Union morale.
