On the morning of June 30, I ordered Brigadier-General Pettigrew to take his brigade to Gettysburg, search the town for army supplies (shoes especially), and return the same day. On reaching the suburbs of Gettysburg, General Pettigrew found a large force of cavalry near the town, supported by an infantry force. Under these circumstances, he did not deem it advisable to enter the town, and returned, as directed, to Cashtown. The result of General Pettigrew's observations was reported to Lieutenant-General Hill, who reached Cashtown on the evening of the 30th. On July 1, my division, accompanied by Pegram's battalion of artillery, was ordered to move at 5 a.m. in the direction of Gettysburg. On nearing Gettysburg, it was evident that the enemy was in the vicinity of the town in some force.
Report of Major-General Henry Heth - Confederate States Army - September 13, 1863

Information just received, 12:45 A.M., leads to the belief that the concentration of the forces of the enemy will be at Gettysburg rather than Chambersburg. The movement on their part is very rapid and hurried. They returned from Carlisle in the direction of Gettysburg by way of the Petersburg pike. Firing about Petersburg and Dillsburg this p.m. continued some hours. Meade should by all means be informed, and be prepared for a sudden attack from Lee’s whole army.
Union Intelligence Report - June 30, 1863

The bloodiest of the war and frequently cited as its turning point, was a victory for the North and the end of the last confederate offensive beyond the Potomac. It was an encounter battle that depended upon the ability to deploy troops with the greatest skill and speed. By July 3, 160.000 men had been engaged, 90.000 of them from the federal Army of the Potomac.

My purpose is to convert the Sid Meier's Gettysburg scenarii.
