This game is a great RTS. There are no complex controls (just drag your army to where you want it to move), yet the morale/cover mechanics of the game add a lot to gameplay. I do get a little confused when a brigade starts falling back for no reason, but I guess there's something that I'm missing in the morale mechanics.

I really appreciate the dev team's dedication to historical accuracy. For example, the Union soldiers fire slightly faster than the Confederates (to reflect their repeating rifles at that time), but Confederates have higher morale and are capable of withstanding heavy losses (reflecting the inspiring generals). Also, the area around Gettysburg itself looks really good, with key points noted on the map, along with what I'm assuming is accurate topography.

This is one of the times where I've felt like an actual armchair general, which is pretty cool. I wish there were more battles available, but there are varying scenarios available depending on what capture points you take during your batles. I'd definitely recommend this game when it's on sale again.
