  6. I personally think you have done well…better than what actually happened on the first day. Do what Longstreet said to do…be on the defensive…make them come to you and make them pay for every inch of ground.

  9. What do you think on the casualties now. Understood some patch dug into recruiting on both sides, but how's the casualties in this game. If numbers are a bit skewed (must likely high) it kind of put a damper on the game. Since it's still in Early Acces numbers most surely be under observation, even if it's hard to "match" losses in the battles. Got big hopes for this game. The AI need to be smart and numbers realistic. You doing good really moving the game forward.

  12. I'd say don't redeploy any of your troops if that deployment zone is that small and out of the way. As for the last of the 3rd Corp have it join up and then prob for where the enemy is. For your 1st Corp, you should probably send them to your left flank because of Heth's division's lack of ammo. The majority of the 2nd Corp can be your center and push as needed once you know where the enemy is.

  16. Nice stream. I can only assume union was holding back in order to concentrate before moving forwards.
    Looks like culps hill will be their first attack , but they are sparse , the ai may hold back until more forces come in to threaten your right flanks on culps hill.
    Will be interesting day 2
    However, you have the advantage as you are well up in support.
    Looking forwards to day 2

  17. Hold the high ground and force the union to attack you at culps hill. Meanwhile move Longstreet up and hammer your right flank to sweep forward and drive the union further south. Perhaps you can keep the army of the Potomac divide into two forces while you maintain a central position.

  20. Stuart should have turned back immediately when he encountered the Union Army on the move at the start of his move north. That information was critical to Lee and he didn’t get it. I don’t recall if he sent couriers back but if he did, they didn’t make it back to Lee. Instead, Stuart made a huge turn to skirt around them before heading north. Everything he did put Stuart further away from Lee’s army and he didn’t rejoin the army until the battle had already been joined. Grumble Jones and Beverly H. Robertson —which had been left behind—didn’t do much better. They should have moved their brigades—which had been guarding the mountain passes in the rear—back to the army immediately when they learned the Union Army was on the move, but they delayed. A poor showing by the senior leadership of the Cavalry Corps overall. Imboden was the exception. His handling of the retreat from Gettysburg was a master stroke that doesn’t get enough attention. Loved this episode—the commentary in particular. I’ll be back for more.
