		Assigned to hold the extreme left flank of the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg with an understrength regiment of 386 men, the 20th Maine under Chamberlain successfully repulsed six assaults by a Confederate brigade through a series of unconventional, creative maneuvers.
		When the 20th Maine ran low on ammunition, Chamberlain desperately led, with more unconventional maneuvering, a preemptive bayonet counterattack, capturing over 400 prisoners and driving the remainder of the Confederate brigade into headlong retreat.
		That does not diminish the key role he played in real life in braving the intense gunfire to anchor the position of the 20th Maine as they stood their ground, and in leading the way during the counterattack.
