Soon however, the main body of both forces are within musket range of each other, and the climax of the battle begins. Infantry divisions in both armies begin to take casualties, and become disorganized as smoke clouds the field and cannon fire shreds their ranks.
Under these rules, fresh units receive a bonus to movement and attack, but as they suffer casualties they become "worn" and lose their modifiers. "Spent" units have suffered massive casualties and incur a penalty when trying to maneuver or fire.

In a last desperate charge, the elite French cavalry punch through a line of Union infantry and capture a battery of guns near the bridge.
However, the allotted amount of time for the scenario has expired, and Kevin Carroll is forced to declare a minor Confederate victory. Both armies nominate a VIP commander, who received a set of Chessex dice as a prize. Terry Cabak, the Confederate general who boldly charged the Union center, is chosen by his colleagues; and the young Union commander who led the counter-attack is selected by his peers.
