Though the leader of the school system of a major metropolitan area, Mr. Mathis has a problem: He can't write.

Continuing Monster Game-Three Days of Gettysburg (GMT)

Having concluded day 1 of the battle yesterday with sorry performance by Howard's XI Corps and two brigades of Pender's division flanking the Iron Brigade, my small wargaming group on Staten Island decided to reset for next Tuesday. Union staff reinforcements have been called in and the hope is that with fresh blood a better defense can be mustered. There will be occasional news here in the future as to how things are going.

0900 opens with another CSA initiative and again a March chit is chosen. Good timing with Davis facing troopers ready to open up on him. Davis' brigade rolls change to attack though weak as they are morale-wise that probably is a poor choice. Pettig…

As you play and note some discrepencies or you see something that needs clarification let me know. The Japanese attack tables may be changed as the RR results seem to be cropping up a bit often. But it does have a lot to do with chit draw for value…
