DESCRIPTION

Sid Meier's Gettysburg! is a real-time strategy simulation recreating one of the most dramatic battles of the American Civil War. Sid Meier, creator of some of the gaming world's most popular titles, including Pirates!, Civilization, Railroad Tycoon and Colonizaton, takes his approach to the battlefield in this epic war game.

Sid Meier's Gettysburg! is a mix of real-time action with the realism of a turn-based war game with 3D animated soldiers, cannon, cavalry and generals which move, change formation, fire, retreat and attack. The highly detailed simulation lets the player take charge of the battle while key factors such as morale, formation, terrain and firepower are automatically handled by the computer. In addition to the historical battle, several "what if?" and custom-generated scenarios are included for armchair generals to fight over and over. ~ Peter Suciu, All Game Guide
