Battle for Martin Farm
The crossroads at Martin Farm was important. Very important, as it happens, for the Union and Confederate armies.
The armies deployed, ready to take control of the area.
Both sides advanced toward the main road.
The Rebel left flank attempted to take the Union in the flank.
The Rebels won the race to the farm.
With their weight on the flanks the Reb's were a bit thin in the centre.
Out gunned, the Rebels held on.
Hood and Longstreet struggle to keep up with advance.
The fighting around the farm was very heavy.
The Union left flank was outnumbered and was forced to give ground under the pressure of the Confederate charges.
The Union artillery in the centre was forced to retreat but the infantry kept on firing.
Over on the Union right flank the Rebels were still advancing through the trees...
.... and then charged into the Union lines.
As darkness fell the Rebels had control of the farm and the crossroads. The Union army began to withdraw, still able to fight another day.
28mm game using Regimental Fire & Fury.
