________________________________________________________________
This scenario was originally designed to represent the full day one battle. However, it had to be trimmed down due to 'AI Freeze' (troops freeze up), so, no Barlow's Knoll engagement as planned. Still, there’s plenty of action to be had as you push your way through Buford's stubborn cavalry, then face the Iron Brigade, and eventually confront Reynolds' formidable stand along Seminary Ridge.
Since the Rebs have an eventual 5000 troop advantage over the yanks, the Major Victory bar is set high. And, it appears to be appropriate by this final play, reflecting the historic Rebel major victory this day with the advantage of a 3000 troop casualty count.
