PC and WI: CSA "Win" Gettysburg?

Lee wasn't out of ammunition or medical supplies OTL, why is a win going to be worse there?
I got the impression that Sloreck was saying that Lee's supply situation was going to force a retreat regardless of the battle's outcome, not that he'd be worse off with a victory. Assuming that the victory is not overwhelming and that Meade retreats in good order.

Well, the point is that Lee's supply situation OTL isn't so bad that he can't fight another big fight.

Long range ammunition for the guns involved in the pre-day 3 (OTL) barrage is pretty bad, but that leaves most of Ewell's and Hill's batteries just fine.
