The Battle of Mansfield, also known as the Battle of Sabine Crossroads, occurred on April 8, 1864, in De Soto Parish, Louisiana. Confederate forces commanded by Richard Taylor attacked a Union army commanded by Nathaniel Banks a few miles outside the town of Mansfield, near Sabine Crossroads. The Union forces held their positions for a short time before being overwhelmed by Confederate attacks and driven from the field. The battle was a decisive Confederate victory which stopped the advance of the Union army's Red River Campaign during the American Civil War.

Very cool!

Reminds me of my early days in the hobby with a club of folks who all shared a love for 15mm. We could fill a ping pong table with ACW or Napoleonic miniatures and have really awesome battles. We normally had 3 guys per side and each brought a Corps worth of troops to the fight.

Those were the days...
