There are two new engagements to report:
  1. Battle of Round Mountain, Oklahoma, Nov 17, 1861
  2. Skirmish at Brownsville, Kentucky, Nov 20, 1861
Both Confederate victories.

These bring the totals (by my count) to 65 engagements resulting in about 17,700 total casualties, including ~2,450 killed.

Summary of Civil War Engagements as of November 20, 1861:

Engagements in Union states & territories outnumbered those in the Confederacy nearly two-to-one.
Within the Confederacy, Confederate victories outnumber Union victories about two-to-one.
Outside the Confederacy, Union victories slightly outnumbered Confederate wins, but only because of consistent victories in West Virginia -- in almost every other Union state or territory Confederate wins outnumber or at least match Union victories.
