Who won? I will run battle of Carthage Mo (fought 11 days before Bull run )at Borderwars in Kansas City this May. Sigel VS Governor Jackson.

What a lovely layout! I like the simple unit labels that just give the brigadier's name. Overall, an evocative rendering of a famous battle. Evidently Vincent has done a good job in writing the scenario. I must play it myself sometime. Thanks for posting! Chris Bloody Big BATTLES! link bloodybigbattles.blogspot.co.uk

mildbill, the Confederates won in the sense that they held all the objectives, but both sides troops were pretty exhausted so I would say the Union did somewhat better than at the historical battle. Thanks Chris, and yes I decided on just the Brigadier's name as this gives little away to the opposition, although most of the time the opposition can't see the labels anyway.

Excellent AAR. I put all the info on unit labels. Even the owning side has trouble making it out. But then the Fencibles are a venerable crew.

Ah yes, I find I often have to squint a bit these days if it is over a certain distance
