The first day ended with the Confederates in control of the town of Gettysburg but they had failed to push on to take the high ground.

Ratings and reviews

They did another update and it just makes things worse. Constant crashes...BS do not purchase>>>This was a wonderful game until the latest MORONIC update that causes the game to constantly freeze and require restarts. Leave well enough alone...roll back the MORONIC updates!

The twilight battel should have more turns than just 9 turns, it should be more like 12 turns. Also on most all the battels, you have to move thru either forest or rocks before a unit can fight. The game would be better if those 2 things were changed.

Love your games but this one is handicapped by not having the option to speed up movement. It's a vast, beautifully designed game as always but I haven't got that kind of patience..!
