The finalized scenarios from the park are hot off the presses. This is Saturdays scenario. It might be tweaked a little, but this is pretty much it. I will try to get the maps loaded, which are very cool.

Action:
“42nd Indiana” is relaxing with Muskets Stacked and boiling coffee. The perception is that Confederates are retreating. US cavalry is patrolling in the valley in front of the main US line. “Loomis” opens at 2:pm on CS Batteries, artillery duel ensues (The 42nd thinks this is still part of the CS retreat).
“Jones” and “Johnson” attack, complete surprise to the 42nd and the US Cavalry. The US Cavalry retires behind the main line as the 42nd tries to hold their positions. Some of Johnson’s men will have to use the creek itself since we are denied the use of the eastern bank.
“Jones” is nailed as they top the ridge by fire from the Federal First line. They proceed down into the valley taking heavy fire. They are forced back and routed back through “Brown’s” line and they rally behind “Brown”. The US Cavalry, seeing “Jones” routed, follows and is met by CS Cavalry who is covering “Jones’” retreat.
“Brown” then attacks and the above action is repeated with “Brown” falling back, menaced by US Cavalry, then covered by CS Cavalry.
On the CS right, “Johnson” pushes the “42nd” back towards the main line as “Palmer’s Battery” (Horse Mobile) moves up to its original position “Brown” (Historically one section in a hail of small arms fire, all horses and most of the gunners killed or wounded).
“Johnson” has pushed the “42nd Indiana” back along the road and starts to press the Main Federal line’s right flank. “Loomis’” and “Simonson withdraw if possible. Once the 42nd reaches the Union main line, the intense fire forces “Johnson” back down the hill.
Then the big push. “Jones” moves to the left oblique to take position between “Brown” and “Johnson”, making one long line, cavalry on the right, next to the crowd. The Union line should be all on the gravel road, Cavalry on the left, next to the spectators. Confederates attack the with a big push and break the line, crossing the gravel road. Any Horse-Mobile CS guns may advance and unlimber on the gravel road.
Note: if there is not enough frontage room on the Gravel road for all the US Battalions, then they can be switched out as the battle unfolds. Simonson and Loomis Withdraw or get over-run (Depending on availability of Horse Mobility). The Federal line retreats to the west and then to the north, around the spectators.
