Simulation Rules: Contact Report - Part VI (newly arrived units continued)

In Contact Reports Part V we learned that in the example we have been following of Captains Rizer and Winfield, a new Contact Report would be issued at 12:00 p.m. due to the arrival of Company "E" of the 3rd Maryland Potomac Home Brigade. Captain Rizer and Captain Winfield have maintained their positions since the initial Contact Report that was issued at 9:00 a.m.   There are a few things to notice:

1. Federal Contact Report: Captain Crawford W. Shearer, commanding the 3rd Maryland Potomac Home Brigade, has arrived with Company "E" and taken over command from Captain Rizer. The Contact Report will now represent Captain Shearer's command, which is composed of Companies "C" & "D" under Captain Rizer, and Company "E" under Captain Eli D. Grinder.  The Confederate force has not changed, although several of the men have donned captured Federal great coats since 9:00 a.m.
