This was the first game in the Hard Road to Travel Tourney. I was the Union side and Rick was the Rebs. This scenario is extremely tough for the South and Rick played very well. He applied enough force on my right flank so that I was forced to give up some VP points in order to contain my line. It was a Minor Victory for the Union and well fought.

For the Union it was a case of finding the best position and to keep pounding at the enemy forces. I think it would be very difficult for the South to win this one.

David, my CSA opponent, was experiencing the usual Rebel problems advancing in this scenario. After 5 turns contact broke off for the better part of a month, apparently due to a computer failure at his end. He was unsure of whether he'd be able to recommence.
davidr comments:
Even in the early stages of the game it was clear that the soldiers of the South would have a really hard time of it. In some ways my computer crashing was a blessing??? |

Very, very tough one for the rebs. Reb player either has to be very good or very lucky (probably both, with emphasis on luck).

The Rebs did fairly well in this one. At one point (in fact the second last turn of the game) I had a "draw" by capturing a key VP hex in the Union rear. I made the mistake of advancing forward one hex and my opponent Mark captured it back on the last turn. Rebel minor defeat was the result. This is a very tough scenario for the Rebs to win. |

In fact, we played 'Beaver Dam to Gaines Mill' scenario, a very good one.
celamanka comments: Average. A solid scenario.
I am playing against the man I consider perhaps the "best", and what better way to learn the game-system. I congradulate and thank my opponent. Hopefully I will do better when next we meet upon the field of battle....! |

This looked to me like a complete suicide scenario for the CSA and at one point I literally gave up. My opponent pounded my advance relentlessly. I think I was fortunate in having a number of troops come back into good order after moving through abatis and I tried to use column movement on the few roads approaching the Union positions. My arty management wasn't as good as it should have been but dusk made that a moot point, fortunately for me. At the end the CSA managed to make incursions around both ends of the Union line, picked up a few batteries and was lucky to reverse the tide.
John played a very solid game and was incrediby quick with his file returns. Good luck to him the rest of the way. |

Mason Jar comments: Average. A solid scenario.
The units start scrambled for the Union so I took the time to sort them out, watched my comand radius and fatiuge and shifted all but one brigade to my right because Tom just kept on comming across the creek and through the woods. He made one more bold thrust across the bridge at Evans Mill when he realised that I had pulled Meade to shore up my center. Luckily that was when the arty reinforcements came up and the howiters settled in at a range of two with predictable results. Meanwhile on my right with Meade holding the line with half of Renyolds Brigade the other half could shift to the woods and allow an advance on the flank that caught two colums of Rebs thrying to sneak around my flank. Troops in line vs troops in colum again predictable results.
The truth is The Rebs are really hamstrung and I half expected Tom to try and melee in colum, which might have worked, but he was too much a gentleman.

Beaver Dam Creek is a very tough scenario for the confederates to win. The Union are behind very good defensive positions and the only option for the Rebs are to attack straight across the creek. Not a very balanced scenario for introducing new players but fine if both sides to agree to play both sides. (As they have done in this tournament)
Still, it's nice to have a "challenge" scenario for a change instead of pristine "balanced" ones.
It should be interesting to see where all of this will go.

My only goal was to hold the union line.I aimed to kill of anything that moved closer to my troops.
Lezgo Killmall fared no better then i did in my own game as a reb.This is hard road to travel if playing the rebs.

Very one sided but as a mirror tourney game makes this not as bad. Actually quite interesting to work out a winning strategy as the no chance of winning Rebs.

As the [UNION] player, my goal was to "defend & repel". My worthy opponent [VARJAGER] launched attack after attack, but was slowed by the terran, and stopped by superior firepower behind good defenses. My opinion is that it would take much luck to get enough troops thru to the barricades to make the day for the [CSA]. I thank my worthy opponent for a good fight.

The Confederates have to somehow get through a line of abatis in order to close with the Union troops. I'm sure there's a way, but I don't know what it is. Casualties got lopsided in a hurry.

I was finally taught how the Rebs can actually win this battle!
Alex lead his men excellently as the marched down the road in column taking fire from everywhere and smashed through th Union defenses. Had night not fallen on him, he would have busted my center wide open.
