Antietam a one day battle was played over both days at Elvington. We used a figure ratio of 1:60 for the game instead of the usual 1:20. We had 4 Union players & 3 Confederate. The above image shows the battlefield looking due north early in the morning during Hooker's initial assault.

In our game the Union forces took the cornfield early on & never lost it.

This was a cornfield (we call that maize in England) not a wheatfield (we call that corn in England). So we are using a cornfield to be a cornfield, when we should be using corn, which actually isn't!
Confusing isn't it - English...

So who won?

The Confederates needed to hold on until A.P. Hill arrived in the nick of time to win.
In our game the Confederates were in a safe defensive position by the end of the day. Burnside never made it across his bridge - A.P Hill wasn't needed.
