Not Great But Not Bad
This
war
game recreates the famous
American
Civil
War Battle of
Gettysburg
. It's not an realtime strategy clickfest. You give orders to your units, press the end button and watch your units and those of the enemy carry out their orders simultaneously. It's not as complex as some wargames but it does require knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the various units and careful planning. The unit graphics are okay, but the animations look choppier the closer you get to the action. The map is nicely rendered. This isn't a game I'd play for hours on end, but for a quick wargame experience, it's not bad.

Enjoyable, but disappointing
First of all, I bought this thinking that it was the Sid Meier game that I was advised to buy. Not enough due diligence on my part. I have to give this thing some stars because I have spent so much time playing it. I am new to the genre, so perhaps my standards are low (my only previous strategy PC game experience is first generation Axis & Allies); but I enjoy the challenge (the AI is good enough to keep you on your toes) and the simplicity. Learning curve on this one is not steep. I anticipate that my young son will enjoy playing 2-player on this with me (history buff). Perhaps when I encounter other games (like the reviewers seems to know about), this one will get dusty. It probably isn't the best at this price-point, but I've enjoyed it.
