About this game

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from 1st to 3rd July 1863, in Pennsylvania. The battle resulted the largest number of casualties in any battle of the entire war, and was the turning point of the American Civil War. Over three days General George Meade’s Army of the Potomac defeated the Confederate army of General Robert E. Lee’s, ending Confederate attempts to invade the North. 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

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.

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 update!

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..!
