The Rebel realizes that he has now last his 2:1 edge in SP (regartless of which option he chooses) so he opts to retreat the 10-3 and make it Shaken. Itcannot now participate in the Close Combat, but iisin better shape than had it kept up the attack. The attacking Reb’s are down to 13 SP so the player starts the attack on the 13-15° column. The atack s shifted one column to the right because the Rebels achieved a Flanking Attack as each (ofthe two remaining units are on oppastes sides ofthe defending Union units. There are no other shifts involved so the attack is resolved on the "16-18" column. The player rolls the four remaining dice and gets a Red/White combo of "44a Blue die of 2" and a Gray die of 3" The “44” row yields a "Cohesion Test Type along witha Brutal Melee resut.

The 7-3 unit ‘must now fp over to its Battleworn side, and it gets “Shaken” ‘marker; the 6-3 unit fps its marker overt its “Disrupted” side. Now the Brutal Melee must be determined.

The Rebel player opts not to conduct an- ‘other Close Combat attack withthe 5-4 (which itcould do against the two Union units that jus retreated). Narratively, this sequence indicates that though the Union units were surrounded brief, they were able to squeeze out of the trap and catch the Rebel 8-3 un- ‘aware witha vicious and well-coordinated counterattack around its flank.

But that Defend card was the last Activation Cardin the pile and the game isnow over! The Union player is reaily upset as he notes that his units couldn't move ‘the 1 MP allowed by the Defend order because they are not able ‘to Engage the enemy under that order. The “VP Location ~ End of Game" marker is now Contested, but its Controlled by the Confederate player asa Rebel unit was the last to occupy the hex, The players flip over the marker and it's the “10 VP" chit So, the Confederate player is awarded § VP (half the normal VP because it ‘was a Contested marker) Ifthe Union had even one Event Card left ‘to.useas a Default Event and thereby move one Union unit into the ‘hex with the VP marker, they would have taken the hill and gotten ‘the VP instead. And tothe Union player's chagrin, i¢turns out that ‘he would have won the game in that case. War is Hell!
