Opposing them and their escape was the 6th...

Savage's Station is the third game in the Blood Before Richmond series, following Gaines's Mill and Glendale & White Oak Swamp; it actually takes place between those two. The story of the Seven Days is the story of bizarrely incompetent leaders and badly-timed attacks, but Savage's Station really takes the cake. The usually wily Rebel general "Prince John"...
