More Drive On Washington – GBACW

Quick post.  Was hoping to get two turns in but sidetracked by Negronis and Twilight Zone Marathon.

Cranked out Turn 7.  Confederates started moving across the discovered ford, but were stopped cold in their assault attempts across the lower Monocacy.  Even little two strength units can (especially during the defensive fire phase), with a not too improbable roll, slap a Pin result on a powerful stack, freezing them up for a turn.  Makes forcing a bridge a tough – resisted the temptation to use dicey – proposition.  Especially difficult when you lack artillery assets.

Here’s the situation at the end of the turn.
