A Most Fearful Sacrifice: Pipe Creek - Meade's Last Stand is an expansion for
A Most Fearful Sacrifice: The Three Days of Gettysburg (AMFS), using a fresh method of simulating Civil War combat with the award-winning Black Swan system introduced in AMFS. Though only using a portion of the forces that fought at Gettysburg, Pipe Creek - Meade's Last Stand adds most of the cavalry that fought at the East Cavalry Field and includes some "What If" troops for the Army of Northern Virginia.
Pipe Creek - Meade's Last Stand allows players to see what could have happened if Meade had left Gettysburg under a variety of scenarios. Two are based on the Confederate's July 2nd attack being successful and Meade deciding to pull back to his pre-planned line. The third scenario is completely up to the players and has Meade refusing to fight at Gettysburg and making his stand at Pipe Creek with a fresh army. The fourth scenario, however, is played solely on the maps for A Most Fearful Sacrifice: The Three Days of Gettysburg and allows gamers to replay Pickett's charge but make it significantly more powerful.
Longstreet didn't think that 15,000 men could break the Union line, but what if Lee had given him 23,300 troops! Is that enough manpower for Longstreet to be successful? Replay the 'In Magnificent Style" scenario in
