GB3-11btn_July3-Slocum's Northern Offensive (U-Corps)
Carryover from: GB3-10btn_July3-Clash at East Cavalry Field (U-Div)
Length of Play: 90 Minutes
Command: Major General Henry W. Slocum, XII Corps
Date: July 3, 1863
Location: East of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Situation: From the crest of Culp's hill we've listened to the sounds of battle to our west and southwest for over three hours now. During this time the enemy troops to our northern front have left the base of this hill and moved out of sight to the north. We haven't received orders yet, but word has it that we will be "taking the battle to the enemy", soon!
Mission: Capture the three objectives.
Objectives: Objectives award 3000 points each when held ten minutes, for a total of 9000 points. After one minute the activating radii change from 150 yards to 300 yards and from Union only to ALL activation.
Forces Involved:
USA - 18,246 Troops, 45 Guns (before carryover)
CSA - 14,907 Troops, 48 Guns

This scenario continues General Meade's 'What If' offensive. Troop strength numbers and positions are historically depicted, exception being that the CSA troops that were at the base of Culp's Hill are repositioned east of Gettysburg into battle lines facing south. Neill and Shaler's brigades of the VI Corps are attached to Ruger's division.
Due to the size of this scenario, a heads-up to avoid 'AI Freeze Up' (troops stop fighting), keep most of your officers TC'd throughout.
One second left...Missed capturing the Gettysburg objective by a couple of minutes, fortunately my engagement points made up for that loss as the MV bar was 'just barely' reached. Get ready for a difficult win, you have only a slight edge in troop numbers, and you're up against veteran Rebel forces. If Meade had indeed called for a full offensive, this scenario depicts probably the toughest of the offensive fronts to win.
