Gettysburg Day 2 - Battle Report

Day 2 fought and done. Some shock tactics almost carried it..........


Table Layout, Union Deployed within the woods in the corner



Rebels face and begin to advance, attempting to send units wide to outflank



In a somewhat shock move, the Union breaks the line and heads straight towards the Confederacy lines and starts a firefight!






Rest of the Union line anxiously watches.......


Firefight causes a fair number of casualties on the Rebs, forcing them to halt, rally and redeploy before it gets much worse.



Union retreats the brave forlorn hope back to the main line, once it becomes clear that they've done their best......



Confederacy have a hurried redeploy and redressing the lines......


Here they come again, boys!!






Confederates shake out into line, then begin trying to turn the flank



First flank attempt is repelled, but the Union is getting stretched.........


Rebs try again for the flank, which gives this time and the Confederates give full push to take advantage.........





Its all over, the Union just can't hold. The aggressive tactics almost worked, almost, but perhaps they got carried away and advanced out of support from the rest of the line.






Confederate Win. They almost got caught on the hop at the beginning though, they really did!
