Day 4 Over

The only engagement on Day 4 of the campaign was between two battalions of cavalry. Lieutenant Colonel Turner Ashby routed the 1st Virginia Cavalry (US), regaining control of Fort Van Meter and the areas south of Romney.

Although the largest Federal cavalry unit is temporarily "hor de combat," other Union cavalry companies were actively scouting Confederate lines at Romney, Three Churches and Higginsville with reconnaissance now appearing from the direction of Points Cross Roads. . Although the Federals abandoned Lowell's Cross Roads in the morning of Day 4, they left a cavalry company there to observe the eventual approach of Confederate forces which retook the town without an engagement.

The lines have shifted only slightly from the previous day, with no change in control of the campaign objectives. This brings the simulation score to a tie as players prepare for Day 5, which will start after a break for the holidays.
