PLAYER SLOTS:  6+

Yep, three days of Gettysburg in three hours at Bonsor. Home brew big battle rules have been specifically written to accommodate our game night limitations, and these will hopefully allow us to finish the darned battle!  They feature command & control, big operational moves, and fast combat on a 14 by 12 mile table top. Longstreet's dream flanking move to the right and Custer's cavalry battle on the 'East Field' are now do-able. Lots of commands are available, and late arriving corps are there for late joiners.
