More Testing... As Adams

I confirmed the fix on the Westminster Road as Haggerty, and easily held Hornberger Hill to finish that game. I then ran another test as Adams, starting near Soudersburg Town and with one division at Feeser and ordered to take Diller's Corner (which will be one of the objectives in the DYOD simulation). I formed in the woods south of Rice and then advanced to Musselman, finding the enemy already at Diller's Corner.

It was hard to see the enemy's position, because it was largely in the woods to the north and south of Manchester Road. Their lines appeared to be spread thin, so I attacked aggressively with Hawley's Division up the road and to the north of the road, and Rooney's Division into the woods south of the road. As it turned out, it was only Swain's Division at the junction.

I concentrated the III AOA artillery on the road, broke their center and drove a wedge into their line. Hawley's men quickly took Swain's right flank, captured Nixon's Georgia Battery in its entirety and took and held the junction at Diller's Corner as fighting moved south toward Orchard Junction.

In the test, I found some more minor errors in the order of battle (some flags) and found that Manchester Road appeared as Machester Road in the game.
