Not that it matters, but SPs in excess of movement restrictions must be left behind, so Grant + Pope and 6 SPs intercept into DC (13-1), leaving 2 SP in the fort.

No battle cards for either side.

USA: +9 (using Mac, Grant, fort, and +2 for intercept)

Rolling for CSA only since USA is guaranteed 10+ and guaranteed to win the battle.

Joined by Pope and 7 divisions, the intercept and Grant's defensive rating can join with Mac and the fort strength in the battle for DC. USA n14-1 in DC vs CSA 14-1...indeed a large(r).
