150th Gettysburg (BGA Event) - June 27th-30th

This year may be the largest Gettysburg Anniversary event EVER HELD. CS Artillery registration is already filled, and the numbers for infantry are filling up fast, so we need to get our registration forms in before May 1st. June 1st is the deadline. If you wish to bring your registration money to the Battalion Drill in April for Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, contact the Adjutant and he will have your registration in ASAP. If registering individually, our CS military affiliation is Jackson's Corps and unit affiliation is Wise's Legion. CS command will be overseen by Maj. Gen. Terry Shelton of Longstreet's Corps. At the moment, we are assigned as 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st Corps for the event. All of Jackson's Corps IS 2nd Brigade. We'll fall in alongside Col. Duffie Miller (1st Bttn/5th Reg't) and Col. Bryan Boyle (2nd Bttn/Southern Legion). The following is an outline of the scenarios that will be reenacted at the Blue Gray Alliance Gettysburg event. More information will be added to these scenarios as time passes. We are making every effort to present a historically accurate representation of each of the below listed battles. Many of the battles will involve having units enter and leave the battle during any one given scenario which will give a more historically accurate.
