CWATS 3.0 — Bliss Farm (Expanded)
CWATS 3.0 — Bliss Farm (Expanded)
The fighting around the Bliss Farm on July 2 and 3, 1863 formed one of the most intense skirmish zones of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Situated between Cemetery Ridge and Seminary Ridge, the farm buildings, fences, and fields became a contested no‑man’s‑land where
Union and Confederate infantry clashed repeatedly in close quarters. Sharpshooters, skirmish lines, and sudden charges defined the
action as both sides sought control of the farm’s structures and the ground between the main battle lines. CWATS 3.0 presents this
engagement on an expanded map, capturing the full tactical complexity of the corridor and the brutal, fence‑to‑fence
fighting that unfolded there.

CWATS: Bliss Farm (Expanded) includes four full scenarios, representing approximately
