The Gettysburg Animated Battle Map APP

Join us as we welcome Tom March who will present selected battle segments from the acclaimed Gettysburg Animated Battle Map APP, as well as welcoming requests from attendees to view and discuss their own favorites. This Web-APP offers users the capability to examine animations of the entire 56-square mile battlefield, over the course of the battle from early morning on July 1st thru early evening July 3rd. Users of the APP can go anywhere on the battlefield, at any time during the three days, and view and examine anything. It’s your opportunity to view animations of the high-profile battle vignettes; Pickett’s Charge, The Wheatfield, Barlow’s Knoll, Herbst Woods, etc.; as well as lesser-known engagements such as Humphrey’s trek to Black Horse Tavern, Brinkerhoff Ridge, Neill Ave., and Longstreet’s Counter March.

All participants will receive a complimentary download code for trial access to the Gettysburg Animated Battle Map APP!

Tom Marchesani (March) is an independent scholar of the battle of Gettysburg. A student of the Battle all of his life, he began this project in 2017. Now, after working over 7-years on the project, investing over 14,000 manhours, the last animation segments were completed in May 2023. There are over 400,000 moving parts and over 8,000 footnotes behind the scenes. Every military unit is shown. Infantry and cavalry regiments, and batteries are shown from the time they arrive on the battlefield’s outer boundaries until the end of Day 3’s fighting. Key infantry companies, skirmish lines; cavalry squadrons, as well as individual artillery guns and sections are depicted. We guarantee you’ve never seen a Battle animation like this one.
