To Little Powell - Yes I finally beat it!

Hi Little Powell.
I finally beat the the confederates. I wasn't going to bed until I won, and I finally did.
I knew the orders I received were bogus (in my mind anyway). I would follow the orders to protect the right flanks, and every time I would just get torn to pieces.
I finally decided not to be a good little toady anymore, and do it my way.
I TC'd one of my troops, and moved them close to the enemy left flank that was causing me all the problems. I would engage, then fall back far enough away that the confederate troops would stay interested in me, then just keep doing this until I delivered them into an ambush. Mind you I did lose a few of my TC'd troops doing this, but it was well worth it.
The rest of my troops were in the woods getting the much needed rest to spring the trap, which we did, and I tell you, it was something to see.
So I held a wooded area, with cannon support on my left flank, and finally had the satisfaction of finally routing the confederate troops.
I can't give you much more info because I'm heading to bed.
Cheers...
