Using Fire and Fury brigade stand strengths, how many stands would it take to do units in combat for the battle of Gettysburg?

If you have a copy of the first edition rules the OOB is in there and tells you. My copy is currently in storage.

If I recall its around 525 infantry stands for both sides.

Great, thanks Doc I think that's just at what I have

Per the F&F 1st ed, page 63
To field both armies
10 Corps leader stands
29 Division leader stands
69 Artillery stands
14 stands of cavalry
11 stands of dismounted cavalry
582 stands of infantry

Cheers

Thanks a bunch David, looks like I need to get painting on some leaders and guns.

Considering it's a 3 day battle the casualties and routing brigades you can manage with 20% less

Especially if you roll a lot of '1s" and the bad guys roll a lot of "10s". :)
