Strategy - Gettysburg Campaign

This section covers the HPS Gettysburg Campaign game and the various campaign paths and scenarios that make up the game.

Brandy Station is usually the first scenario in any full campaign game. It is also a critical decision point for the campaign, not because of the campaign tree branches that might open or close due to success or defeat here, but the future impact the cavalry losses have on the campaign.

Winchester is usually the battle that follows Brandy Station if the Rebel decides to go into the valley. It is also a spoiler scenario, that is, the Union always loses but the question is at what cost to the Rebel. Here are my thoughts on the best way to handle this one.
