In partnership with @LittleWarsTV the American Battlefield Trust revisited the greatest battle in American history to see if Robert E Lee could avoid making the same mistakes. Played inside the historic "Lee Headquarters" building at Gettysburg, a team of wargaming pros From Little Wars TV matched wits against a team of professional historians from the American Battlefield Trust to refight the entire three day battle on a custom 8'x6' tabletop with thousands of hand painted 6mm miniatures. In the month leading up to the game, we polled the public on a series of critical command decisions for each army. Nearly 10,000 votes were cast, and your votes determined some of the key orders given to the players on each side of this game. What orders did you issue and how will Lee and Meade fare 156 years later at Gettysburg?
