South Mountain Mini Scenario: Battle around Frosttown Road

Description: This mini scenario will show the opening attack by the Pennsylvania Reserves against D.H.
Hills left flank commanded by Rodes Alabamians. It was an overmatched fight with the Union
outnumbering Rodes and his reinforcements nearly two to one. He was able to hold for some time but
the weight of the Pennsylvanians numbers eventually breached his line. Colonel Stevens South Carolina
brigade attempted to reinforce but they too were shattered in the attack. For the Union, other losses at
Fox Gap and Turner Gap and darkness prevented exploiting the Pennsylvanians success.
