Day 3 started out much like day 2 except all of Meade's attacks were repulsed with grievous losses. Having lost Buford's cavalry division really showed because Stuart's cavalry was able to get an immediate upper hand. The victory conditions I use are that Sole possession of Cemetery Hill and Cemetery Ridge at the end of any day are what is required. I feel that possession of these two hills, based on the arrival of the two armies, were the key features of the battle.

| After combat on turn 3, the Union has lost both hills and is outnumbered and in worse shape than the CSA. Meade is forced to retreat from the battlefield. Another major loss, and in Northern territory, is too much for Lincoln's presidency. He loses the next election to a peace candidate and the bloody war ends with a recognition of Southern independence. |
