Don't keep Jenkins in Macgruder too long. If Hooker's coming up from the Allen road, Jenkins should shift toward him. In several games, Jenkins sat in the fort too long and was hit and killed from the rear. The key here, especially with Card 1 is the early entrance of Hill. Hill's entry, if the Union has not successfully broken through the abatis has a big effect, especially if Union reinforcements are a bit late.
Hill deploys in the center usually just in time to plug a hole in the abatis line.
Beware the tendency to ignore orders to advance to the attack against the abatis. Let the Union come to you in the forts. With Card 2, the game is very short. Just once did the Union break through before noon. Smith crushed Anderson as he was coming up and cleared Jenkins and the arty out of the forts while Hooker stalled Hill.
