Battleground - Gettysburg - PC
Watch your organizations:
-------------------------
Use the "Show Organization" tool box button to keep track of the
various units to keep them within their respective command radius.
If at all possible, keep regiments within the Command Radius of
their brigade leader, and brigade leaders within the command
radius of their divisional leader. This helps prevent undue
routing & disrupting, and aids in rallying.
Place your artillery units carefully:
-------------------------------------
Use the "Check LOS" tool box button to "test" the lines of sight
from various vantage points. The more you have to move an artillery
unit the less use it can be.
Keep your reinforcements in mind:
---------------------------------
Use the "Reinforce" pop-down menu to check on the arrival time
and location of any reinforcements you're scheduled to receive
(if any!). The proper use of your reinforcements, may be the key
to winning or losing.
Keep a reserve:
---------------
If at all possible, keep a reserve, whether on offense or defense.
It just makes good common sense to have a readily available force
to "plug" the gap created by an unexpected rout, or to have some
fresh troops to throw into that breakthrough.
Watch your units facing!:
-------------------------
Facing in Gettysburg is critical (for infantry, cavalry and
artillery). Always check the facing/formation icon for each unit
as you select it (in the Unit List's icon display area). More
than once I've had enfilade shots at opponent's units because
they did not have them properly positioned.
