Hi8 Camera view; Union side

Rebel cavalry preparing to move to the right flank.

Union side, right flank.  Seeking fords is being attempted (1d6 5,6).  3 units have all checked once and have one attempt each remaining.

Union side, left flank.  Cavalry vs. Rebel infantry; the Union cavalry is dismounted and on the reverse slope.  Only the far left rebel unit can fire.

Union side, center bridge.  Firing lines are prep'd and ready to exchange fire.

Union side, left flank.  Firing starts and (red) hits are scored.

Later, the cavalry mounts, moves across and fires into the flank of the infantry.  Things don't look good.

Close up of dismounted "cavalry."

Note:  You can't always use dismounted cavalry.. because you don't always have the models.  Normal infantry suffices however, remember that if actual cavalry, they will not carry rifled muskets but some form of carbine.  Their rate of fire may be greater, but their range is not equal to a rifled musket.  Still, we call these B grade weapons or A grade with reduced range (3 instead of 4 hex range).  They could however be repeating, which would be a +1 in firing.
