The Fight for McPherson's Ridge 1st July 1863.
This is part of day one at the Battle of Gettysburg & is the opening phase of the battle. It was an attack-defence game with a figure ratio of 1:20 planned to last
for 12 Game turns, with specific objectives for the attacking Confederates. The Union players started the game with Buford's Cavalry but infantry of 1st Division 1st Corps
arrived in increasing numbers throughout the game.
The result - well the Union commander conceded defeat in Game turn 10, after the Confederates had taken one of the objectives. The Union commander was powerless to prevent
them taking a second objective in Game turn 11 - the Reb's only needed to hold one objective to win! Better luck next time.
The game was a final play-test for a soon to be released scenario pack. |
