Skirmish Group - Black Powder After Shiloh Action
The Skirmish Group staged a follow-up action in their 28mm ACW series using the Black Powder rules, set in the aftermath
of the battle of Shiloh. In their previous action, the Confederate assault on day one was decisively defeated, and the
southern forces fell back toward their depot at Corinth Mississippi.
This game saw a rearguard action as the Confederates covered their retreat over a rain-swollen creek. In a reversal of fortune
worthy of a telenovela, the Confederates instead attacked the pursuing Union forces and drove them back toward Shiloh. A
surprising and excellent game, November will see a tense finale to the series.
