As messed up as the first day was, the second day may have been worse (from the point of view of the U.S.). I deployed the Spanish on either side of the road, with militia holding the point blockhouse. The U.S. tried a pincer on the front with the regulars as the volunteers marched up the trail. The lack of leadership hindered the volunteers as it had the Cubans the previous day.

The Buffalo soldiers eventually took my gun. In so doing they exposed themselves to fire from entrenched infantry. The white regulars tried to skirt the south flank near the blockhouse only to lose half their force to militia rifle fire and the canon, before the Buffalo soldiers assaulted the gun.

I formed a fire brigade/hunting party from 2 infantry companies and a very good captain. They set the volunteers back on their heels as the U.S. cavalry marched up to support them. The game ended with a stable, though heavily engaged south flank, and a U.S. company in the north, hoping for a spoiling opportunity which would never come.

--Apologies if the translation is wrong. My Spanish is only as good as Google translate.
