Scenario # 20

[NavyJake]

Guys I must admit that this one has me a little bamboozled....

I have attempted this scenario a couple of times and the closest I can get to the required points is 6000 with 7500 being required to achieve a Major Victory.

I tried it the first couple of times playing in a defensive posture, well that didn’t work…
I have tried it as an all out attack, not a confederate regiment left on the field…

So I’m not sure what I’m missing?? Do I have to capture Longstreet himself???
Advise and assisted requested.

Make sure you have enough troops and a commander at the VP the entire time. As I recall the radius is fairly small.

No doubt, I plant one Regiment there the entire time, unless the number required changes I'm in control of the VP from 1 minute on.

Points are 25 until about the 30 minute mark where it moves to 100. I'm not a math wizard but that doesn't add up to to close what is required.... I though maybe there was a requirement to kill all the Reb units or something?

You do have to defeat the rebs, but you don't have to wipe them out. As I recall, I assumed a defensive posture and counterattacked at the appropriate time, first against the enemy coming from the east, and then, once the attack from the south lost momentum, counterattacked there too. I also seem to remember supporting the troops on Little Round Top. It's been a while since I played this, but I remember this just being a straight-up fight that did not require any fancy maneuvering.

Thanks, I'll give that I try also, haven't engaged at either LRT or the Northern forces, as the units in the area seem to do pretty well against those attacks.

Guys,

Thanks for your help on this, finally cracked the nut.
