About Civil War: Gettysburg
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. Day two was a day of a series of actions at both ends of the battlefield at Culp’s Hill and Little Round Top. Day three ended with the disaster of Pickett’s Charge.

The scenario description suggested "experienced players" might want to try it. I considered myself experienced as I had played and completed 2 other titles in the Civil War series by this Dev, Hexwar Games. The titles I had already played were called Civil War: 1861 and Civil War 1863. I was not disappointed! I played this game on Hard difficulty and it was a challenge, enough to be fun. I had to restart the scenario I think it was 3 times, as I made some mistakes and lost, before finally winning the scenario and the Battle of Gettysburg!

The Master scenario of the full, 3 day battle involved accomplishing objectives, such as keeping the Rebs out of the town of Gettysburg until the end of turn 16. Once you accomplish the objectives new ones are given, for example, ev…
