‘Even’ fight until turn 7, then Confederate Reinforcements enter.
So after turn 9, Confederates will rule the VP hexes.
If Union does not back off, they will be defeated in detail (BCE’d and likely captured!)
To win, the Union must make this a ‘spoiling fight’ –injure the lead units, (BCE them), and avoid being BCE’d themselves, and don’t lose leaders or Guns.
