You and your company of Rangers have just returned home, the horses have been fed and put up, the pickets have taken up their posts, and all is quiet. With your trusty shotgun by the door, you sit down at the table to enjoy some of Mama's home cooking. Just as you start to eat you hear a picket yell "Halt", followed by a shot.
Suddenly all hell breaks loose and hot lead is flying, bullets striking the cabin like hail from hell's own thunderstorm. Caught by surprise, your men scramble to their stacked weapons. Bushwacker Johnston's renegades have mounted a cavalry charge and you and your men must regroup, return fire, and repel the attack.
