With Gordon and Mahone across the High Bridge, the rebels were ordered to fire the bridge. But delays and errors prevented this order from being carried out successfully. Though the bridge was damaged, Union infantry was able to put the fire out and Barlow's 2nd Division of Humphrey's II Corps, was able to cross and continue the pursuit of the Confederates toward Cumberland Church and Farmville. In this scenario, Mahone, seeing that the destruction of the bridge was unsuccessful, turned his men around to confront the advancing Union infantry, and with luck and skill of arms, give it another try. NOTE: There is an exit hex for Union troops. To gain victory points, occupy the exit hex at (0,2) and use the "Remove from Map" feature, under the Command Window, or more simply, hit Crtl+X
