(Historical 20 minute turns) After conducting a delaying action at the Little Blue River, Blunt's cavalry division pulled back to prepared defense positions along the Big Blue. It joined Deitzler's division of Kansas militia, covering a front of fifteen miles from the Missouri River to Russell's Ford. Again, the objective is to delay Price's Army long enough for A J Smith's infantry and Pleasonton's cavalry to close on their rear. With Marmaduke as rear guard, charged with holding off Pleasonton and shielding the immense wagon train, Price pushes Shelby to breech the Big Blue defenses while Fagan stands by to follow.
