Overview of the general situation looking North.

The Confederate sunken lane position has collapsed and the remnants are being pursued by the Union Brigadier General William French's Third Division into the Piper cornfield.

Meanwhile, an emboldened Union Brigade from the First Division, Second Corps Major General Israel B. Richardson commanding, has attempted to outflank the Piper cornfield putting further pressure on this sector.

Major General Sumner is attempting to get his forces ‘ en potence' along the Smoketown road, but with great difficulty, as a large section of his command melts away.

A newly invigorated General Lafayette Mc Laws is carrying all before him as his Division tears into the retreating Union forces.

Your stunningly realistic dioramas never cease to amaze me. Well done!

Possibly the very best depiction of an ACW battle in miniature within the USA! Well done, Sir!

Thank you everyone for your kind words as always.

As stated before this is not a diorama, it is a re fight.

I am currently progressing the next move for the 11.45 AM. update.

Thank you to Dye for minis but the battle is taking place in my garage, in the U.K.

My wife is a very tolerant lady.

Best wishes,

Chris
