After their sucess at the crossroads, the rebs launch an all out assault on Jacksonville. Wary of the enmy firepower they decide to go for a night attack
The formidable Truman line guards the approaches to the city, guns at the ready
Tenting tonight: most of the yankees are asleep, and will only wake up if the sentries sound the alarm
The confederates approach stealthily in the dead of night
The sentries walk about the perimeter, but they don't see anything amiss
One of them is even silently dispatched
Wait, what's that?
Johnny reb is here, sound the alarm!
A crashing southern volley anihilates the left union gun
The northern forces wake up and begin to stream from their tents
The other federal cannon opens up on the enemy
Under fire, some confederates break and fall back
Now the entire federal line opens up a terrific fire
Wich is answered in kind by the enemy
Undaunted by massive losses, the southerners launch a rebel yell and charge the redoubts
Scattered fire ravages the federal right flank
A second unit attacks the central redoubt
Contesting the objective
As the confederate colonel seizes an objective, battle ends. With one point apiece and the central redoubt being fought over the assault ends in a draw.
