Battle Statistics

Artillery: 116 guns(2900) Union; 80 guns(1934) Confederacy

Total: 46,968 Union; 32,017 Confederacy

The new men we threw into action were enough to give us a significant edge.

Casualties

Infantry: 7,959 Union; 11,874 Confederacy
Cavalry: 333 Union; 140 Confederacy
Artillery: 12 guns(367) Union; 36 guns(885) Confederacy
Missing: 91 Confederacy

Total: 8,750 Union; 12,899 Confederacy

We took more punishment than I had thought, but it was still a clear Victory. The latest arrivals never got involved at all, which skews the numbers a bit here.


Brigade Performance

So many units involved it's hard to see who is who. That'll be easier when I get to camp briefings and can look up how each brigade did.

Officers

Col. Rafael Durrell has been promoted to Brigadier General. Finally.

BG James Stewart gets his second star, and is now a Major General. We'll have a decision to make collectively on him.

Col. Gregory Race is also promoted to General, as are four others.

Lt. Col. Walter Seymour is promoted to full Colonel.

Says we had nobody wounded or deceased even though there were two reports of it happening during the action. It appears that happens when the entire brigade is shattered.

Weapons

** Re-Bored Farmer: 607 rescued, 650 captured
** Sharps Model 1855: 152 rescued, 199 captured
** Springfield M1842: 1385 rescued, 1272 captured
** Springfield M1855: 1271 rescued, none captured. That's actually probably a good thing, indicated we didn't have to face any and that the rebels aren't using them.
** M1841 Mississippi: 85 captured. We may eventually get enough to use, but we'll need more than this.
** Palmetto M1842: 346 rescued, 319 captured
** Harpers Ferry M1855: 217 rescued, 0 captured
** Smith: 47 rescued
** Lorenz: 12 rescued
** 6pdr Field: 9 rescued, 3 captured
** Palmetto M1842(cav. version): 90 rescued
** Colt M1855: 34 rescued
** 12pdr Napoleon: 8 captured
** Sawed-off: 28 captured

That's, uh, a long list.

Rewards

** Career Points: +2
** Reputation: +20
** Funding: $277k
** Recruits: 16.6k. Plus another 91 in exchange for the men we captured.

First 'Grand Battle' we've won in a while. It remains to be seen whether it ushers in a new era of momentum. In the actual events, the Union lost 16k and the Confederacy 7k here as the rebel reinforcements turned the tide, so it's nice that we fared better than that.
