| Yes there is an exit hex> If I leave now I can make it except for the wagons which are fixed for now. However the orders are to destroy the supplies and leave.

| I'm starting a Corinth campaign and the first scenario says that I must destroy supplies before the rebs get them. But if I use my cannon to destroy the fixed wagons, won't the lost supplies score against me? the same wagons will release after a while but the Rebs are sure to be here. MG Drex Ringbl... |

Antietam would have to be a close second. It has some good maps with meeting engagments.

| Congratulations Captain Marx! Although our game looks to be a draw, you did recover like a champ and brought it all back. You played like a general which rank I'm sure you will achieve with no problem. Unfortunately you are on the wrong side, but that's war for you. MG Drex Ringbloom, Cdr, 2nd Div "... |
