Description

"Pickett’s charge [at the Battle of Gettysburg] will always be remembered as a tragic desperate maneuver." "After the failure of the Confederate artillery to destroy the Union defenses, and the quick counter fire from the Union artillery, Lee entrusted Longstreet with three divisions: Trimble, Pettigrew, and Pickett. Those three divisions charged across a field of fire a mile in length, and up a sloping hill towards the muskets and cannons waiting for them at the top . . . The day ended in defeat for the Confederates. Pickett’s Division was utterly destroyed." This is a miniatures wargame intended for classroom use with students in grades 6 to 8. The game is designed to be played on a 7.5x5 foot table using 1/72 scale miniatures. Two orders of battle are presented - one for a fast play game of 45 to 90 minutes, and a second order of battle for a longer game.
