<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Gameplay:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> Fight your way to the objective to your front.  Initial activation of this objective begins enemy movements toward the main goal...the stone wall, so tactical delay and timing are important.  Upon activation, 5 minutes and 500 points, three random objective variances are possible.  One begins with the stone wall objective South, it will activate, followed by the Center and then the North.  The next objective variance begins north, and the final objective variance activates all three StoneWall objectives at once, so the player can choose their course of action in securing the objectives.  These are worth 200 points each, 2 minutes per.  Also, of critical importance, 'must guard' objectives will be activated in their place.  These final objectives must be guarded, because if they fall...1 minute to be activated by the enemy, defeat and end scenario will result.  So, once the wall is taken, it must be held to the end of the scenario.

ACTION AT BRINKERHOFF’s RIDGE
 
As Hood and McLaws prepare to attack the Union left, events are unfolding in other areas of the battlefield. Brig. Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg brings his tired and understrength Second Cavalry Division up the Hanover Road toward Gettysburg (Col. Pennock Huey’s brigade is at Westminster). Around noon, two brigades of cavalry, Irvin Gregg and John McIntosh, leave the Hanover Road and look for rest in fields that border the thoroughfare for themselves and their mounts. A half a mile farther west the 9th Massachusetts Infantry (of Sweitzer’s Fifth Corps brigade) is on a picket line astride the Hanover Road.  When the 9th Massachusetts withdraws, Mclntosh dismounts the 10th New York and advances a few squadrons to replace the infantry. Capt. William Rank’s Battery H, 3rd Pennsylvania, supports the Union horsemen with two guns.
 
Col. John Nadenbousch and the 2nd Virginia of Walker’s famous Stonewall Brigade (Johnson’s division), is tasked to defend the left flank of the Ewell’s line east of Gettysburg. They easily push back the l0th New York Cavalry that has been sent out in a piecemeal fashion, a few companies at a time. As the 2nd Virginia advance on a stone wall, the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry replaces the 10th New York and race to reach the stone wall before the Virginia infantry. South of the Hanover Road, the Purnell Legion and the lst New Jersey Cavalry are sent out to support the 3rd Pennsylvania. Around 8:00 p.m., Nadenbousch, after attempting a flanking attack on the stone wall that fails, leaves two companies to picket the area and returns to Walker telling him he has taken on two Union infantry regiments with cavalry and artillery. This exaggerated report holds Walker’s 1,300 men in place.
