Good pace! I'm afraid I will have to wait until the morning to play as I'm pretty tired now and that's when stupid mistakes happen!

The Union - March 1861
Federal scouts discover Rebel troops massing on the banks of the Mississippi near Cairo. Reinforcements are sent to the area to discourage any acts of recklessness. Ships of the Federal Navy are now actively searching for any vessels carrying contraband or weapons to Rebel ports.
Nothing special
Wenn du tot bist, dann weißt du nicht, dass du tot bist, es ist nur schwer für die anderen. Genau so ist es, wenn du blöd bist.
The Union - April 1861
As the weather begins to turn warm tensions along the borders continue to rise. The garrisons of Fort Sumter and Cairo check and double check their weapons. Trigger fingers are getting itchy!

The Union May 1861
Bored of waiting in their tented prisons Northern Soldiers begin to talk amongst themselves about the whole situation blowing over. Perhaps they will be demobilized and get back to the farm in time for harvest. Still, it would be a pity not to show Johnny Reb a thing or two about fighting!
Some indian greenpeace-activists with signboards "make love not war" block the roads to the north.
The CSA sent a delegation to negotiate with them.

The Union -July 1861
Outraged at the Rebel attrocities in Tennessee, West Virginia and off the coast of North Carolina public opinion in the North changes from one of reconcilliation to one of revenge. Urged on by the press the Federal Army of the Potomac advances on Alexandria. Fifteen Infantry units (mostly Militias) and one Rebel General are either destroyed, captured or scattered into the woods. The Federal Army loses one Cannon Battery and four Infantry Units. Spurred on by this success the press clamour for the Army of the Potomac to march on to Richmond. Preferring a more cautious approach Lincoln advises his Generals to halt in good defensive terrain north-east of Charlottesville and await the inevitable Rebel counter-attack. One Rebel Militia Unit holding the river crossing is wiped out.
At Harper's Ferry Federal troops of the Army of Cumberland destroy three Rebel Militia Units before securing the high ground to the east of the town. The Union suffers no major losses in its initial attack.
These are two very nice images in the last two posts.
The 8th N.C.I. took revenge.
At Harper´s Ferry 6 units were killed
Southwest of Alexandria 2 units were killed
At sea near Norfolk 1 frigate and 1 transport were sunk.

Sorry for the delay. Will have to play this after work tomorrow.
