It was fun trying to visualize this during the earlier Coffee, Kegs, and Kriegsspiel podcast.

Fascinating stuff, y'all! Interesting to see what the attacker decided to do.

Its easy to ridicule MacClellan from a historic distance, but there are always the details that a casual historian (like me) is unaware of.

Thanks for posting this!
