Pickett's charge AAR2

 On the right wing of Confederate army our players put weak divisions from Hill's corps. 

View from initial positions. On the right - haunting line of col McGilvery Federal guns. 

Thin line of Pettigrew division. In the center of picture, behind the road, we can see Codori farm.


Tiny Lang's brigade on the extreme right of the line, in front of Spangler farm.
Confederate troops cross Emmittsburg road.

Once again, Confederates are breaking Federal lines at Bloody Angle !

High tide of Confederacy at Bloody Angle. Brigades of Marshall and Davis cross the stone wall.

All in vain. Federals counterattack and brigades of Pettigrew division, diminished in numbers, retire across the field.

Pickett's Charge AAR1

 As already told, our Confederate players changed the order of big units - they placed Pickett's division on their left.

Above - Pickett'd soldiers facing Ziegler's farm.

View from Cemetery Hill. Pickett's division in front rank, with Trimble's in the rear. On the left - Bliss' farm in flames.

Confederate column approaches Emmitsburg Road.

Confederates crash into Union defensive lines. 

First line of Federals pushed behind their artillery with general Hays killed (and removed from the table).

High tide of Confederacy - Lowrance's brigade enters Ziegler's groove. 

... and this was all they could afford. Situation just before the retreat, with both divisions heavy diminished in numbers.
