A new "what if..." mission: What if George Custer and JEB Stuart had tanks instead of horses when they fought outside of Gettysburg on 3 July 1863? This is as close to the real battle as I could make it. No tactics, just a flat-out attack by Custer right up the middle (well, the U.S. Marine Corps still calls that "tactics" but those of us in the U.S. Army call it something else :) ).

It only takes about 8 minutes (the RL horse charge lasted 20 minutes) but I'll bet you're sweating when you reach Rummel's farm at the end of the valley...if you live that long. I spent a lot of time testing and tweaking it to make it very intense. And it plays out a bit differently every time you run it.

It should be under Single Player PE Pro Missions, Difficult (the gunnery is tough, 3 kills is the best I've done).

Enjoy! Feedback welcomed here...
