Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
Grasshopper's Vacation

Hey everyone,
2017 was an overwhelming year for me what with everything surrounding my recent tournament, but now I’m even more stressed out with some of the personalities on this site lately. I just wanted to let my friends in this community know that I will be taking a break from these forums, and that I will be back when I feel better.
I will be checking in and answering any messages from my inbox, as well as working on my current customization projects like card decks, control markers, and battle dice. I will also be shooting video for War Room, A&A 1940 Global, and Historical Board Gaming varients on my YouTube channel.
I’m looking forward to sharing all these finished works with axisandallies. org when I return.
Take care,
YG.

The Lord Curtmungus knows some great places to vacation… in the WASTELAND!

Let me know who these people are, and the Lord Curtmugus will get them in a headlock of such power they’ll never dare to roll dice or come back again!
To wit, this is how I handled Idi Amin!:

Take care,

I have a pretty-good idea where YG is coming from and why he had to part from the site… I have a feeling this trend will continue until something is done to stop the downward trend that is compelling the good people like YG from leaving.

When can I buy your ticket?
