My order of reporting will generally be from NE to the West, then down the south. As you all may know, the Yankee forces were arrayed in a fishhook formation from Culp's Hill, around Cemetery Hill and on down the ridge like this: .................................gettys. Seminary...................X..X Ridge......................X.......X .............................X....|...X...<---Culp's Hill ..............................X....| Peach......................X....|..<-----Cemetery Hill Trostle Hs.................X....| Wheat Fld..................X...| Devil's Den.................X...| Little Rnd Top.............X Big Rnd Top................X...............Union Reinforcements from the SE(?) The Culp's Hill advance is meeting no resistance at the moment. Although, since the men are currently in a nice defensive position (on and behind a small rough hillock), it will take some ***-kicking to get them to charge that imposing hill. More picquets pop up between the Culp's Hill area and Gettysburg, but they are either dispatched or so severely suppressed that I will get them next turn. Gettysburg has only a few Italian squads heading south in a hurry that I will catch next turn if they don't get out now! My advance from Seminary Ridge is being slowed because of the sheer numbers of Blackshirts that I am rolling back towards Cemetery Hill (still about 3/4 mile away). As they retreat, they are bunching up with the ready Blackshirts behind them, so that I simply can't shoot enough of them to keep them all running now. The Peach Orchard is unopposed, Trostle House is now mine too with minor resistance that is being driven away and back across a creek towards Cemetery Hill (Cemetery Hill is about 3 miles long at least and runs N to S down the middle of this map.). The Wheat field is giving me trouble as the squads there can pump out alot of rounds each turn and I have to advance without cover. I don't see the buggers until they unload on my poor men. For the rest, Devils Den and Big & Little Round Top, all is still quiet...
