Taking Little Round Top?
I'm on the 'Pickett Attacks the Left Flank' scenario (July 2nd, Afternoon) as the CS on a determined campaign.

Long story short, lots of Feds died in their morning assault so Round Top was trivial to take.

Wofford and Pickett's division, however, made no progress advancing through Devil's Den against the Union position at Little Round Top. Most of the Union infantry is in the area of Little Round Top. They still outnumber me, so clearly there's a lot back there.

(I reloaded, but earlier there was a gray colored mass grave in Devil's Den and the hill to the left of it.)

I'm not sure what the best option is. Should I have used Picket to charge Cemetery Ridge with the 3rd Corps (hanging out up north)? Should I attempt to advance on the right flank on that ugly open ground? Whatever it is, there's no way Little Round Top can be attacked from [Big] Round Top.

The 1st Corps Reserve heavily bombarded the Union here. ^

With the exception of Benning and Law, the Corps is at maximum morale and are quite well rested.

Well Anderson's and Pickett's Divisions are your best assault troops remaining. I'd advise moving your artillery forward along the Trostle farm down to the Rose woods. After a short barrage to weaken DeTrobriand and Shaler advance either Anderson or Pickett's division out of the Wheatfield and into the wooded ground running North from the Weikart farm. From there let the other rested divison advance up behind then make the short charge up a shallow hill onto the very southern part of Cemetery ridge. From there you can push north through very good cover and capture Cemetery Ridge.
