Regimental Fire & Fury - Caseys Redoubt scenario played

Group get together today (our Twelfth celebration) at Johns using Regimental Fire & Fury again this time 'Caseys Redoubt' scenario.
I along with Richard (roll a 10) took control of the Federal forces which were mostly green but in defence of said redoubt.
We had a 'drip-feed' of separated reinforcements coming to our rescue.
John and Stephen P (the Robust one) and Le Duc (donning a silly hat and  some weird accent) took the Rebs with Stephen B once again taking umpiring duties.
Another excellent game with this rule set.
Lots of units charging, falling back, carrying the position or being rebuffed and all very ACW.
The Green status of Union troops hurt them as usually going Disordered from shooting.
Rebs had mainly trained but with a smattering (3 ?) of Veteran units.
This being early war period several units on both sides were rather large (12-16 stands).
Rebs assaulted from the get go pushing Union troops from forward positions.
However several Union units in extended Line took several turns to overcome and the Rebs were rebuffed at all but one section of the Rifle pits.
The fragmented Union reserves appeared on either flank shoring things up somewhat but the Rebs had a large superiority in numbers which began to tell.
Union heavy losses were at 38 stands lost the Rebs at 52 so despite almost 1 for 1 in casualties the Union suffered the -1 Heavy Casualties modifier to Movement by about turn 7
The game was scheduled for 12 turns but we only managed 8 (?).
It was declared a draw as too hard to be sure the Rebs could secure the Redoubt before a sizeable Union Brigade would arrive straight into their left flank on turn 10.
Richard and I therefore claimed a moral victory.

Some throwaway comments today (those publishable at least !)

"That area with 4 trees is 7 Pines"
"Those low fences are the high fences"
"You pull them off to get it in" (I dont even know what this was in relation too !!!!!!)

Great game in great company with good rules and usual great hospitality.
