Pickett's Charge – 2nd Wave of the Attack

Tags:

It was indeed a great fight, using Regimental Fire and Fury.

And just like Pickett’s charge, once we came within range of the musketry it rapidly became a massacre, units steadily shrank and closed up together to maintain support and in the photos you can see the gaps opening. 

The rebs crossed the wall in 2 places where there was rails instead of stone, but the 2 regiments that crossed were below 1/2 strength when they crossed and got cleaned up by the Union counterattack.All in all a great fun night with a good turn out.
