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.
Where's Vance?

Vance we’ll all miss you and I hope you post from time to time and will we see you in Toronto in about 4 months?
Bad dice suck!!! I rolled so many last week on the table top its not even funny, maybe this weekend my dice will be better
Keep in touch or we’ll form a posse -
but can he restore his account, and get everything back as it was before?
absolutely not. He can make a new “Vince” account but these can never be related to his dead accounts posts.
-
That’s it then… Vance as we knew him, is gone.
Goodbye my little Lego friend.
-
Well that explains a lot. I just got back from mission and I couldn’t post to him to tell him I was back. Damn, not going to be able to finish the game….
Oh, by the way…this was NOT our game that caused this.
-
Even if it was…… Vance’s growing frustration with the dice is nobody’s fault.
-
Is there anyway somebody can take over for that game or is it lost?
-
We have lost some really great troops in the past few years.

@ABWorsham:

Agreed…

If only we could lose some of the “not so great” troops… :)

I truly liked playing with you, Vance. Fair and helpful, oh, and forgiving some horrific beginners mistakes. Can understand frustration about dice. Anytime you want to play online Diplomacy, let me know!
