MegaGame 2023: Gettysburg – Day 2

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from  the 1st to the 3rd of July 1863 in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Union Army of the Potomac (Major General George Meade) defeated the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia (General Robert E. Lee) in three days of brutal fighting culminating with Pickett's charge on 3 July.

We are focusing on the second day with Longstreet's attacks on the Union's right flank that produced some of the most famous clashes in military history including; Little Round Top, Devil’s Den, The Wheatfield, The Peach Orchard, and Cemetery Hill.

We will be using Johnny Reb 2 rules, with a troop scale of 1:20 and an 1 inch representing around 40 feet.

There will be 1,710 miniatures and 79 guns on the Union side, with 1,020 miniatures and 35 guns for the Confederacy in a spectacular recreation of part of the most famous battles of the Civil War.  

Organiser: Large Scale Wargames Group (BrisCon).
