| Titball advances |
Last time in the Peninsula:
Major Quilp took a ball to the chest, RIP
Sergeant Butt was shot in the Butt, RIP
Captain Titball (and there is no easy way to say this) ran away.
The boy learned that one at West Point... word in the Company is that his nerve is gone.
Sr Captain Marion P. Perv
(III)
Captain Titball (II)
Lieutenant Sackrider (II)
Sergeant I.P Freely (I)
4 Regular Groups, 1 Skirmish Group
Crossing by boat takes time but the column arrives on the foreshore in Hampton at 0900. By 1100 they have made it through the town. Miss Daisy is encountered and lures Captain Perv away into a tryst up her alley. Perv is not seen again and Titball must take command. Undeterred he presses on.
By 1300 the column has reached the Wilson farm, and heads towards the bridge. on the road they encounter Mayor J. D Hawg, who is firmly a southerner, but susceptible to a bribe.
Hawg reports the presence of a weak company of Louisiana Zouaves at the Bridge. Titball has the overconfidence of an idiot and presses ahead, Keen to prove that he has not lost his nerve (but we all know differently) If he can capture the bridge the union will have a route north onto the Back River road.
The game will have only a maximum of 8 turns.

 |
| More Zouave Skirmishers appear on the hill above Sergeant Freely. |
 |
| Titball gets into the action. Lieutenant Mike Krotch of the Confederate Zouaves is shot in the chest and expires in the arms of his weeping Captain. Well there had been rumours... |
 |
| The Union Skirmishers break as Sergeant Freely is knocked unconscious. They leave him there and Freely is later captured and held by the Zouaves. |
 |
| Sackrider advances into the bear pit. |
 |
| "Them thar Zouaves can sure shoot." Titball is hit in the leg. The Union is at breaking point. |
