Travel back in time to an era when the very fabric of American society was ripped in two. The Civil War pitted brother against brother and father against son as the North and South fought all-out war, and now it's up to you to take sides in the famous battle which became the turning point of the entire conflict!
Play as the North or the South
As the Confederates, stand up for your rights as sovereign states against the Northern Yankee aggressor. As the United States of America, fight to put down the rebellious Southerners and preserve the Union. Whatever your decision, be ready to sacrifice everything for your country!
Exciting and Fun Strategic Game Play for the History Buff or the Beginner!
The single player campaign American Civil War: Gettysburg integrates 16 completely unique and challenging scenarios into one comprehensive experience of the legendary battle!
In each mission, control your armies of infantry, cavalry, and artillery in an effort to complete specific objectives. You'll learn to make use of cover, supporting fire, flanking movements, and different marching formations to defeat the enemy.
Simultaneous turn-based gameplay in American Civil War: Gettysburg makes it easy to map out the perfect strategy and win victory for yourself and your cause!
Carefully Detailed Graphics Aid Historical Accuracy
The game carefully covers all the most famous military actions of the epic three-day battle.

It's all made possible by the detailed graphics and lifelike animations of American Civil War: Gettysburg!
Every part of the game is tailored to historical accuracy: the familiar blue and gray uniforms, flag-carrying soldiers, realistic firing, reloading, and movement animations, and much more!

average game, Oct 05, 2009
by Chris Walsh (westfield, NJ USA)
This game had a lot of good aspects about it, good strategy and graphics, but some parts of the controls can be annoying, and some parts are very difficult. Overall, I would recommend the free trial, but I would not spend your money on this game. I think the controls are difficult because some of the hotkeys (keys used as shortcuts instead of the mouse) can be spread far apart and difficult to get to quickly, and some of the parts of the game on the medium difficulty setting feel a lot more like extra hard settings.

Great game except for a little bugs, Aug 11, 2009
by Charlie
This is almost completely realistic. It gives you a hands on view of each army and they move realistically. The formations are pretty accurate and the positions they take are almost real. I do wish that there were more formations to choose from and that you can get a first-person view of he game. But I guess these are just my preferences. The programmer sure did a nice job with this game, giving it nice colors. You could learn a lot from this game in an educational purpose. All in all, I would definitely recommend this game to all of my friends.
Best CW Game I have played, Aug 02, 2009
by Patrick (Austin, TX USA)
I have been playing Civil War games since Sid Meyers Gettysburg. This particular game has all the features I have ever looked for in CW gaming and is a pure pleasure to play. I would love to see the same technology and game play advanced to a full out campaign of the entire war and not limited to one single battle.
BEST FIGHTING GAME, Jul 20, 2009
by S.M.Mubashir Abbas Kazmi (Lahore, Pakistan)
I have played many games till today like Commando, IGI, Virtual Cop etc. but a time came at which I felt bored from these games. These games are a little exciting at the start, but started to bore me after playing for sometime. Then I started to find an exciting, enjoyable and highly intense game in which excitement never ends. At last I found American Civil War which is not just an exciting game but also a very brilliant and enjoyable game. I never got bored while playing this game and now whenever I find sometime to play a game, I only play American Civil War. I also told all my relatives and friends that if you want to play an exciting game try American Civil War. Now they all are playing only American Civil War. Whenever all my friends assemble, we play American Civil War.
The graphics of the game are really good. The game is really challenging. It is full of excitement. The suspense in game is excellent. This is a very pleasurable game. The tension of any person can be released by this game. I feel no doubt to call this game a Mind Relaxing game. In my opinion this is the best game I have ever played and I believe that no game better than “American Civil War” exists.

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
