September 20, 1863 30 Turns --------------------[ Historical ]--------------------- 9:00am: All of Longstreet's Corps has arrived from Virginia, ready and aimed at the heart of the Federal army. Bragg has given orders to commence this morning's attack with the right wing (Polk) at 8am. However due to miscommunication between Bragg and his subordinates the attack does not start until after 9. Just as the left wing (Longstreet) is scheduled to commence its attack, Rosecrans - believing that there is a hole in his line - creates a real hole by ordering Brig. General Thomas Wood's division to pull out and close the perceived gap. Just as Wood's Federals vacate their positions, Longstreet's attack pours into the newly-created gap, quickly routing the Federal right. George Thomas is left to fend off the destruction of Rosecrans' Army of the Cumberland.
