Contact - Afternoon of Day 6

On the afternoon of Day 6, there is contact at Higginsville, Points Cross Roads, Romney and Three Churches.


Colonel Henry Anisansel faces Ashby's cavalry at the Gates farm north of Points Cross Roads with two small companies of cavalry. At Three Churches, Federals have advanced from the Middle Fords in force and approach an unknown number of the enemy near the Saville Farm.  At Higginsville, a company of Federal cavalry has stumbled upon a Confederate commissary train resupplying from a depot at the Fox farm. Back in Romney, the only visible units are in the plain along the river at the covered bridge. Each side has their guns trained on the bridge, ready to throw canister at anyone who attempts to cross.
Colonel Henry Anisansel (Commander of Lander's cavalry) is at the Gates farm with a cavalry to his north and south.
