American Civil War: Gettysburg War, Jun 23, 2009
by Gavin Mades (Holmen, WI USA)
The “American Civil War: Gettysburg” is a thrilling and life changing game. You can fight on two sides, the Confederation and the Union. You can use cavalry for horse fighting and they have advantages and disadvantages. You can also use soldiers which are the main force in the game. When you take control of the troops in battle, there are mainly soldiers and sometimes cavalry and not often cannons. As for the cannon artillery, when you use them you want them to go on hills and you have to really protect them because they are weak at close range. The life changing part is that you can learn how the battles in Gettysburg really happened so you can get some history from the game. So buy the game and have the most fun you have ever had and learn some of the history of war, but mainly have the most fun you have ever had and maybe ever will.

American Civil War: Gettysburg Player Comments
- "This game could be played in history class, thats how historically acurate it is. The Graphics are great, you can see each guy reload, fire etc. This is really a great strategy game. I liked how your men could take cover in woods and fortify, but i would have liked that when you"fortify" your men actually build a small fort that grows over time." - Stam from Philadelphia, PA USA, 4.5/5 stars
- "There really aren't that many games that are based on the civil war that are good. But i have to say this is way up on my list. This game is very strategic and it has great graphics." - Jordan from Centralia,IL, 5/5 stars
- "This game gives you the history of key battles of the Civil War - without the boring lectures in class. It puts you in command of Union and Confederate forces to see what it was like to be the Generals back then. Interesting control layouts and skirmish modes makes it a really good game to get." - Tuan from USA, 4.5/5 stars
- "This game is an action packed game that shows you and lets you play the battle of Gettysburg. You can watch your battle after you have played it and see what you have done." - Andrew from Santa Ana,CA,USA, 5/5 stars
