This game is a true Classic. Better than Cossacks 2 in my opinion. Sid Meier's Gettysburg! defines strategy.

This game is truly magnificent. It offers a historical and interesting look back on one of the ACW's greatest battles. Timing, knowing when to commit troops, setting up ambushes and having your men hold a desperately thin line is what this game is all about. After finishing the game (facing many challenges) I could not resist but move on to the numerous scenarios that help diversify the game which centres around only one event.

The only flaw in this game is the graphics, other than that the game is a "hoot". Realistic musketry sounds, cannons, men shouting all the way to bugle calls immerses the player into a mid 19th century battlefield. To not play this game is an insult to the tactical genre. So I say to you, "Get the game! Get it now!" You are sorely missing out if you have not played this 20th century master piece.
