G PurvisJust a guessMon Jan 29 16:40:03 2001 :Tim, I would say they should have pressed the their advanatage when the Union troops were still in retreat from earlier firefights. Instead they settled in to let reinforcements catch up. This allowed the North to buildup their positions. Also Lee should have never fought a battle where the North's position was so strong, he could have retreated and fought another day, I also think the placement of the cannons was a terrible mistake. But to be honest I don't really know, I'm just guessing.George: GB Tim, Mon Jan 29 18:11 Gettysburg Discussion Group Jim Martin, Mon Jan 29 20:09 GDG & ADG Tim, Mon Jan 29 21:47 GDG Jim Martin, Mon Jan 29 22:58 B D Fry Tim, Tue Jan 30 09:25 Alot of controversy for a long time!
