<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Mission:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> Secure/Hold - Little Round Top
  
<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Situation:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> Devil's Den is on the brink of being overwhelmed by the Rebels, their next goal, the Little Round Top
 
<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Gameplay:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> The objective is worth 100 points per minute, secure it the duration for a victory.  For a major victory, offensive movements may also be necessary, as they were historically with Chamberlain's famous charge.  The 140th NY will reinforce your position at the top of the hour, and the 2nd Sharpshooters are guarding the eastern slope...available under your command the last 15 minutes of play or sooner if engaged.  The high ground advantage should insure for positive engagement scores, but unless the objective is secured the majority of the time, a victory can easily slip away.  
A heads up, for after the historically based initial assault phase, randomized regimental charges will begin.
In the last 15 minutes, if enough of the Rebels have retreated and are at their rally point, a second objective will appear...a Scout message will explain it's role.
If the 1st objective (LRT) is lost to the Rebels for one minute...Defeat.  Once the 2nd objective is secured, General Barnes will arrive at the LRT, if he is killed...Defeat.
