The First Federal Division will be fielding a Brigade for the "At High Tide" event being held just outside Gettysburg, PA. The event is being put on by the producers of "September Storm" and the Division has been asked to support the event and to serve as the command authority for all Western Federals.

"At High Tide" is a recognized event for the North South Alliance and the First Federal Division for attendance purposes.

The event site is on a privately-owned piece of farm land in Adams Township, PA. which is directly adjacent to the Gettysburg National Battlefield Park. It is the same site used for the filming of Pickett's Charge and other scenes from the movie "Gettysburg."

This event is a more authentic/realistic alternate to other "Gettysburg" events , is put on by re-enactors for re-enactors, and is shaping up to be a first class event experience.

The scenarios are still being finalized, but expect some of the following: First day action on the north side , Cemetery Ridge, Culp's Hill, and The Charge of the First Minnesota ( which will come as the final portion of a rolling battle based on the second day and Longstreet's assault on the Federal left).

The scenarios are designed to be representative of the actual numbers involved, and so the decision was made not to try to have some watered-down, miniature "Pickett's Charge."

Much attention has been given to logistics, and the 'camp of convenience' a.k.a., the family camp, will be positioned so as improve logistical support, i.e., water and ice supply, and toilet maintenance.

Military camping will be in a wooded area, but space is limited, so travel light, and camp tight.

More information will be forthcoming in the near future, and the event website should be up soon.
