Battle! Romney D2 - 12:35 - Confederates take Malone Farm

As the Confederate reserve put pressure on the Federal right flank on the hill south of Malone and began to press forward, the Union men retreated over the hill and went to form behind a second line of infantry protecting their batteries on the hill south of Romney town.

The lead (now right) Confederate brigade advanced through a field against Federal cavalry and dislodged them from the east edge of town. The Confederates have advanced to the north-south street on the east of town, with a regiment entering an orchard. The Union cavalry has retreated to the west and is believed to be somewhere in town.

Artillery is firing and the Confederate left has passed through the Malone Farm towards the enemy. Rather than crest the hill to their front and take canister fire, they have halted and taken cover. There is a lull in the battle and the players will now receive their first turn reports for the Battle of Romney.
