Something wrong with the clip?

Col. Porter E. Alexander:
We've been firing for a good while now, sir. It's apparent now that the Federals nor we will gain a clear advantage in this business. If we continue to expel our ammunition at this rate, we might endanger our ability to support the advance.
Lt. Gen. James Longstreet:
Did you not have enough ordnance when this was begun?
Col. Porter E. Alexander:
Federal fire compelled us to move the artillery train farther to the rear, sir. It's taken us longer to refill the capsules. Sir, we must slow down our fire now, or we will have to cut back on the guns sent in to support the infantry.
Lt. Gen. James Longstreet:
Damn! I'm going to have to order general Picket to hault his attack until these guns can be replaced!
Col. Porter Alexander:
Sir, the trains have little ammunition, it would take an hour to replace it. In the meantime, the enemy would improve on the time. The longer we delay, the more time the Federals have to strengthen their own line. And even if we recovered more supplies from the ordnance train, how much more damage could we inflict on them than they on us? They're bringing in fresh batteries as quickly as they drive them off!
Lt. Gen. James Longstreet:
Just get some more ammunition and keep it hot! I cannot send in Picket's division or the others, until we clear some of those guns off that ridge!

We've been firing for a good while sir
00:00:03.398 --> 00:00:08.015
It's apparent neither the federals nor we are going to gain a clear advantage
00:00:08.369 --> 00:00:11.142
If we continue to expend our ammunition at this rate
00:00:11.219 --> 00:00:13.957
we may endanger our ability to support the advance
00:00:14.208 --> 00:00:16.945
Did you not have enough ordinance when this was begun
00:00:17.044 --> 00:00:21.054
The federal fire compelled us to remove the artillery train farther to the rear
00:00:22.411 --> 00:00:25.468
It's taking us longer to refill the caissons
00:00:25.539 --> 00:00:28.206
Sir we must slow down our fire now
00:00:28.285 --> 00:00:31.994
or we will have to cut back on the guns sent in to support the infantry
00:00:32.525 --> 00:00:33.663
Damn
00:00:34.999 --> 00:00:38.876
I'll have to order General Pickett to halt his attack until these guns get replenished
00:00:38.954 --> 00:00:42.077
The trains have a little ammunition It'll take an hour to redistribute it
00:00:42.847 --> 00:00:45.418
In the meanwhile the enemy would impound the top
00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:46.838
The more we delay
00:00:46.914 --> 00:00:50.172
the more time the federals have to strengthen their own lines
00:00:50.251 --> 00:00:53.474
And even if we recover more supplies from the ordinance train
00:00:53.552 --> 00:00:56.704
how much more damage can we inflict on them than they on us
00:00:57.133 --> 00:01:00.534
They're bringing in fresh batteries as quickly as we drive them off
00:01:00.609 --> 00:01:02.967
Just get some more ammunition and keep it hot
00:01:03.528 --> 00:01:05.999
I can't send Pickett's Division or the others
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:09.227
until we clear some of those guns off that ridge
