In my opinion, the death of General Reynolds changed the entire battle of Gettysburg. He was brilliant and fearless, and he undoubtedly had plans for further deployment of the army.

Can we know for sure if Reynolds could have changed the course of the battle? No. But a general as sharp and effective as Reynolds would most likely have had further plans for positioning of the army.
