Gettysburg: The Tide Turns

norm

I really like this game and hope there will come expansions. Easy to get started and fun to play! Only thing I would wish for is a more "openended" scenario where both sides have their victory points, a more "unhistorical" version if you will.

If you enjoy strategy and the American Civil War, you should probably purchase this game. If you study the Battle of Gettysburg, then this is likely up your alley. Instead of rambling on using gaming cliches, and poor descriptions of game play, I'd prefer to give a brief history on the young man whose image is used in the primary icon for this game. His name is Edwin Francis Jemison, of Company C, 2nd Louisiana Infantry serving under Maj. Gen. Magruder during the Peninsula Campaign. On July 1st, 1862, at the Battle of Malvern Hill, in Henrico County, Virginia, this tender faced Georgia volunteer was decapitated by a direct hit from a cannonball. He was only 17 year-old.

good game

Innovative game on a famous battle. Easy to learn and play, but it takes effort to play well.

Beautiful map. Fluid and exciting game play. Some surprises.

different movement system based on chit for each corps, so they are intertwined in a turn
