Oh Karl, no need to get mad. Your mistake was putting on the wrong uniform and joining the Yankees. Fortunately, you are now wearing the proper grey uniform for our latest battle. Hopefully, you will just have happy faces when that new one is over [there's certainly a lot of Yankee casualties thus far - may it ever continue].
General Lee had confidence in his Generals.
In the east, keep out of the open and keep at their flanks while blasting away at any Yankees that ventured into the open. Jackson kept pushing them back on their right. It then took some time [no roads and 'slow to move through' terrain] to get to the eastern extremity and on the Union left but once achieved they got pushed right back there too.
Also, in the next CSA move Banks' Corps would have been isolated and Drayton's fresh brigade would have arrived to assist Hood in ploughing through the then isolated Union Corps at Aldie.
I enjoyed watching the videos again. I especially like the 'time lapse' in the final episode: it's great to see the 'flow' of the battle.
