DBACW Battle of Kernstown Part 2

Part 2 of our epic clash, Jack took command of the Union forces & yours truly the Confederates.  Both sides had three Infantry Brigades, however the Union artillery were massed under a separate Brigade, whereas the Rebs had their Artillery distributed.  To win the battle, the Confederates had to capture the hill held by Baum's Brigade, otherwise the Union side would come up trumps.  The battle would be timed, about twenty turns.  Each turn would be approximately 20 'real' minutes on the battlefield.

The Rebs main force would be the Stonewall Brigade heading straight for 'the hill'.  On the left, was Fulkerson's small Brigade, who would fight a holding action.  The other two Reb Brigades would try to lure away the bulk of the Union army.  Would Jack's Yankees take the bait...?
