Inaugural FoF AAR - Union side

[cillmhor]

Early November 1861:

Two small battles in this turn, one where my 2 divisions met Longstreet's Corps in Shenandoah and were beatan back with heavy casualties - 2000+ lost to approx 450 casualties inflicted.

Out west my Army making incursions into Hatchie, Tennessee, met a CSA force which retreated without a fight. I continue to push forces south out west to try and distract Peter in the East. I have joined one of my Corps to the AotP to bring up the Army to 104,000 men and the AoNV is at 72,000 men. Still not near enough to the at least 2-1 advantage I need to take the Confederates' superior training and leadership on. I'll keep equiping them as best I can to see if I can at least have an advantage on that front.

I have a lot of mints in production at the moment which I hope will up my money production, as my limited resources don't allow me to do too much each turn.

It appears that Peter's strategy is to try and win in the east, but that allows the door to swing open in the west, if my sketchy intel of his forces is correct?

I have sent a Corps down to reinforce the two divisions which were mauled in western Virginia. I leaves southern PA open, but further threatens the flank of AoNV.
