An optional battle pack which includes five battles: First Shots Little Round Top Culp's Hill East Cavalry Field Pickett's Charge First Shots: Shortly after 7:30am on July 1, 1863, the first shots were fired at the commencement of the Battle of Gettysburg. This game covers the advance of Archer’s and Davis’ Brigades along the Chambersburg Pike into the 8th Illinois Cavalry. Scale: Company. Little Round Top: At the extreme left of the Union Left Flank, this position was vital. One of the most famous incidents of the American Civil War is portrayed in this game: the desperate downhill charge made by the 20th Maine to finally drive back the Confederate advance. Scale: Company. Culp’s Hill: After drawing away units to deal with Longstreet’s main attack, the Union defense of Culp’s Hill was weakened. This game focuses on the Confederate attack against a single brigade protected by hastily constructed defensive works. Can the Federal defenders hold on until reinforcements arrive? Scale: Regiment. East Cavalry Field: Stuart vs Custer! This battle recreates Custer leading the 7th Michigan in a counter-attack. Scale: Company. Pickett’s Charge: This battle covers the furthest advance made by the Confederate General Lewis Armistead on July 3 during Pickett’s Charge at a place that came to be known as “the angle”, referring to a bend in the wall Union soldiers sheltered behind. For a moment the Union line was broken, but Armistead was unable to turn the captured artillery back on the Federal forces and reinforcements quickly arrived, driving the Rebels back. Scale: Regiment. —description from the publisher
