War Page
The big group for wars. I ended a few of these artificially during the big revamp I'm working on, so Wicked Witch is officially over, and the Dutch surrender in Low Country War. Every war gets it's own page now.
Third Battle of Manassas
And no Shane, there were no suicide bombers. Sorry.
Confederate troops run into the forest, and use the ash to further camouflage themselves, turning themselves nearly invisible. The Union troops charge, but the Confederates aren't where they were, and it takes them a little while to figure out where the Southern troops are, while the Southerners pick them off with accurate rifle fire.
Union troops go into the forest, but the Confederates continue to inflict heavy casualties, mainly among the cavalry who are unsuited to this kind of warfare.
Union artillery bombards the forest, but it causes few casualties.
The Union troops decide leaving would be a good idea.
Casualties:
Union - 2000 infantry, 2500 cavalry
Confederate - 2000 infantry
