Longstreet Attacks: The Second Day at Gettysburg – Boxed Edition

Longstreet Attacks: The Second Day at Gettysburg – Boxed Edition is a regimental-level wargame covering the southern portion of the Gettysburg battlefield on July 2, 1863.

Product Type: Standalone boxed wargame.

The game focuses on Longstreet’s assault against Sickles’ exposed Union positions, including the fighting involving Hood’s, McLaws’, and Anderson’s divisions. Players command the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac in a tactical contest where timing, morale, terrain, command friction, and sudden battlefield events all matter.

Using the Blind Swords chit-pull system, Longstreet Attacks emphasizes fog of war, friction of war, and fortunes of war. Brigade orders, division activations, command events, unexpected opportunities, and battlefield chaos create a tense Civil War game that aims to deliver tactical depth without excessive rules overhead.

Scenarios range from smaller introductory actions around the Round Tops to larger scenarios covering the Wheatfield, Devil’s Den, Houck’s Ridge, the Peach Orchard, Cemetery Ridge, and the full southern-sector action of Gettysburg’s second day.
