Reinforcements to the Confederate forces attacking Little Round Top, suffer bad luck. Strong Vincent's Brigade (with 20th Maine on the right of the Union line) deliver a devastating volley, scoring three casualties, and forcing the Rebs to fall back in disorder!
Yet another Confederate charge in the Den is thrown back (center). Just can't make a throw!
In Rose's Woods, the Rebs finally score, driving back some of the Federals in the center of their line...
Back on Little Round Top, the Yanks fire an ineffective volley against the 4th and 5th Texas (left), but the Rebs score two hits on the 16 Michigan, causing it to fall back disordered...
The Confederate attack on Houck"s Ridge is finally seeing some success. A charge throws the 124 NY back Shaken with two losses (stand with yellow cap), while a further volley staggers the 20 Ind, who suffer a casualty and retires disorganized (just above the 124 NY)...
Anderson's Brigade moves into Rose's Woods while a 17 Maine volley is ineffective...
At the western edge of the Woods, Yanks and Rebs blaze away with no effect...
Starting the Yankee phase of the Turn, the 16 Mich reorders itself and forms up on the Union right. The 4th Texas is rocked by the Yank's volley, losing two figures, but they stubbornly hold their ground...
At Houck's Ridge, Federal troops attempt to reset their line, while the various Confederate units are moving in and through the Triangular Field (left center). One can see how difficult it was to deploy and manuever in this area during the real battle...
The exchange of volleys in Rose's Woods, results in the first casualty in the 17 Maine (Perhaps this is my Great Uncle Color Sgt James Loring?) slightly left of center...
In between the Round Tops, Law's Alabamians successfully recovered from their Shaken status, while the Texans suffered another casualty in their exchange with the Federals to their front...
The Confederates are forcing their will upon the Federals in this sector, as more Rebs pout through the Triangular Field, and past Devil's Den...
In Rose's Woods, the right hand regiments of Anderson have also recovered from their Shaken status although still remain Disordered at the right edge of the Woods. Meanwhile some of Benning's Brigade inflict one more casualty on the defending Federals of de Trobriand's Brigade. At the western edge of the woods. more of Anderson's men inflict another casualty of the Pennsylvanians holding the Right Flank of this Union line...
Back on Little Round Top, Vincent's men cause the 4th and 5th Texans to become disordered. It is illustrating just how difficult it was to assault the hill...
On Houck"s Ridge, even though the Rebs are driving back the Federals. not all goes according to plan. Two times the Confederates fail to pass troops through the front ranks to press forward! They only succeed to go into disorder...
In Rose's Woods, the Confederates force a number of de Trobriand's regiments to retire, while the 17 Maine still holds the fenceline along the southern edge of the Wheatfield...
Between the Round Tops, the Texans reform their line but Law's men still remain Shaken...
Ward's men holding the north end of Houck's Ridge take another casualty, but the Rebs fail once again to move forward. The Devil's Den is proving to be a major obstacle..
Meanwhile in Rose's Woods. the Yanks reorder their ranks (left) while the Rebs were disorganized and took an action to reorder. Support troops are moving forward behind the front ranks...
More to follow...
