Bayonets

These objects are long knives that attach to the barrel of a rifle. Chamberlain orders his men to use these objects on the second day of battle at Gettysburg when they begin to run low on ammunition.

The Seminary

This is a building with a tall cupola on the edge of Gettysburg. Buford uses this cupola to watch the approach of the Confederate soldiers on the first day of the battle.
