The Gettysburg Battlefield is the area of the July 1–3, 1863, military engagements of the Battle of Gettysburg within and around the borough of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Locations of military engagements extend from the 4-acre (1.6 ha) site of the first shot at Knoxlyn Ridge on the west of the borough, to East Cavalry Field on the east.

Special Rules
At the start of the Confederate turn, if Confederate units occupy the Peach Orchard hex, Wheat Field hex, and the Little Round Top hill hexe place 3 flag tokens on the Confederate victory stand.
As long as Confederate units occupy all 3 hexes, it continues to count toward the Confederate victory.
If any hex is not occupied, remove all 3 of the flag tokens from the victory stand.
An infantry unit may enter Devil’s Den, but must stop and may not battle that turn.
When targeting a unit on Devil’s Den, the defending unit may ignore 1 flag rolled against it, and the number of battle dice rolled against it is reduced by 2.
A Union unit on any of the 3 hill hexes of Little Round Top may ignore 1 flag rolled against it.
