Just to let you all know, my dad got this game as a gift when he was in the military. Anyway this game is pretty awesome. It's just like if you were at a board gaming place and playing against another player. The graphics are okay, and so is the sound. I mean, when your battalion or corps or whatever is shooting at the enemy, some littlw smoke clouds come up as the sound effects go off. Oh yeah, the sound effects for everything-including the music- is real guns and cannons going off. Actually just to make things simple, the creators of this game actually just went to some Gettysburg reinactment and recorded the sounds. They also video-taped alot of things, so that if you don't want the sound effects and animation, you can just turn on the vidoe effects and make it seem like what the little people on the screen are really doing down there. Also, my dad got all the other Battleground games to, including----BG:1 Ardennes Deluxe (Battle of the Bulge), BG 2: Gettysburg, BG 3: Waterloo, BG 4: Shiloh, BG 5: Antietam, BG 6: Napoleon in Russia, and finally, BG 7: Bull Run (Battle at Manassas). They are all fun to play, but sometimes I cheat if I'm losing, by setting the advantage to my side to 100%, so every shot i make instantly kills the opposition. Well i think that explains all! Have fun!
