the seemingly never ending scenario has had two more game sessions done with it, one with just Nate and McLean, the other was just last Friday, with five of us there to keep the action moving and the result was holding at pretty much the same ... the Union was just clinging to a tiny corner of the sunken road.
I predict a draw will be the result, though interestingly enough Sherman was dead, and Grant had been in two close shaves, one that killed an officer near him another that put a hole in his coat. (must have been from branches shattered from the artillery that were firing at the nearby regiments on othe Union left flank.

Nate was able to TWICE ROLL a 10! to 'throw back' Confederate charges on the critical corner of the sunken road ...

| game end for the day, still holding that damn tiny section of the road ... the next time the Confederates would have artillery to POUND them at within the limited 4" range (due to the woods in the entire area). |

Tough looking fight. Looks as though General Ruggles CSA will have to gather together his 64-gun battery to batter the Union out of their sunken road. For all its peculiar mechanics, 'Fire and Fury' does provide a good and evocative sort of game, methinks.
Good looking table!
Yes the guns did have to be assembled, though this time they were ON THE ROAD itself in the center of the hornets nest. No way were the Union taking that part of the road back without massive casualties.
