GETTYSBURG: What our live action game found out about Hood moving to the right!

Should General Hood's division have moved around Little Round Top on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg? The 1993 film GETTYSBURG seemed to think so! We decided to test that theory with a live action wargame at the Gettysburg National Military Park and linking it to a table top miniatures wargame. Eric Lindblade, co-host of the Battle of Gettysburg Podcast, leads our Confederate players as they use historic roads to see how Hood could have moved his division to the Tawnytown Road. Can they get there in time to launch an attack before nightfall? How will they move all of their ammunition wagon, artillery and ambulances? Meanwhile, Mark will be gamemaster to the Union team as they try to interpret a mix of historical and non-historical signal messages to try an figure out what the Confederates are up to! This is a wargame like you've never seen before!
