<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Situation:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> Rebel infantry has been spotted southeast of Culp's Hill.  They must be prevented from moving behind the Federal right flank.
 
<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Gameplay:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> For the first 7 minutes, the 10th NY is available for a delaying action until your main force gets in defensive positions, they will randomly retreat once engaged.
The initial objectives are for setup only, no points.  Once the primary objectives activate, 5 minutes north and 9 minutes south, at 80 points per minute each, they represent very close to the Major Victory score, 4200 points.  Rebel objectives also will be activated, stone wall south and north.  If they are activated and held for one minute, Jone's regiment will retreat.  Rally a counter offensive or rout the enemy from the field (evtintrouble will activate) for a Major Victory.

 4200 = Major Victory

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.
