Is their any advantage in the Union Army turning the town of Gettysburg into Festung-Gettysburg? While this small town is no Stalingrad, the Confederate do not have the man power to conduct a city fight or a siege.

What would the POD need to be? I am assuming it would have to between the 26th of June (when the 26th Emergency Regiment was engaged on the Chambersburg Pike and the early hours of July 1st, before the battle began.

The things is Meade and Lee didn't think that they would fight in Gettysburg, it was an accident. So making Gettysburg into Festung can't occur. If you want Festung then try make Pipe's Creek happen like Meade wants it to

Well if Pipe Creek occurs than it is no longer a city/town fight.
