Battle - Romney D2 - 13:45 p.m. Out of sight, but not out of mind

Federal and Confederate infantry lost sight of each other at around 12:55 p.m., as the Federals limbered their guns and moved off the hill south of Romney towards the west and the Confederates repositioned their line east of town near Malone. 

Around the same time, two Federal cavalry companies emerged from the woods north of Big Run and discovered the Confederate ordnance trains at Taylor. The trains were guarded by infantry, who opened fire. The Federal horsemen fell back out of range, but as a section of Confederate artillery was taking position to open fire on them, the retreated back into the woods and out of sight.

Visual contact between the two sides was lost at around 1:00 p.m. The turn ended at 1:45 p.m.

Players have received their Turn 2 reports and may issue orders at any time. The simulation will continue once orders have been received for both sides.
