Fatal Blunder
I
If after rolling you cannot or do not place any dice on a Pink Formation, remove the cube from this card, adding it to your Morale Cubes. This card is then removed from play and all remaining Pink Formations Rout immediately.
During the confusion of the battle, someone yelled out a false order, and the Carolina regiments wheeled to the right, exposing their flank to Union artillery. "Hundreds of the bravest and best men of Carolina fell, victims of this fatal blunder," Kershaw wrote later.
