Gettysburg: Turns 19 - 24

 The Round Tops

Turn 19. The Confederate brigade of Kershaw supported by Barksdale's Brigade, charges the brigades of Tilton and Burbank (middle left of photo). Burbank has recoiled prior to impact but the small brigade of Tilton (just 12 surviving figures) receives the charge. In the ensuing melee Tilton is destroyed but has prevented Kershaw from inflicting more damage for the time being at least.

Elsewhere, fire is exchanged with troops on Little Round Top. 

Newton's Division continues to snake their way to the front.
