About this game
From HexWar Games comes a strategy game based on one of the bloodiest battles of the 1800s — The civil War: Gettysburg.
History Matters
The Battle of Gettysburg lasted from the 1st to the 3rd of July and resulted in the largest number of casualties of any battle during the American Civil War. It was also a turning point in the war, with the Union army of General George Meade defeating the Confederate army of General Robert E. Lee. The first day ended with the Confederates in control of Gettysburg. Day two saw the Union winning at Little Round Top and Culp's Hill. The third day ended with a disaster for the Confederates, with their failed charge at Pickett's Charge.
