        The Rebs are rallying down in the valley to the southwest.  Their guard appears down and it looks like a good time to take the battle to them.  The troops are waiting for your orders Sir.

 
<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39> Advisor:  This new VP is worth 200 points per minute and takes 500 troops to secure.  Sweep the enemy from and beyond this objective and recreate Chamberlain's famous charge.

        You have positioned your corps well, Sir.  Recent observations have the rebels deploying well to your left.  Due to these movements, General Vincent's brigade is moving to your left flank to position on the small round topped hill immediately to the south.  More reinforcements are on their way.
