The Battle of Gettysburg is a wargame simulation from the American Civil War. The battle featured was a massive confrontation between 70,000 troops under the the charismatic General Lee and 90,000 Union soldiers under the dry and calculating General Meade. It was the pivotal battle of the American Civil War. History tells us that Lee lost the battle but with Gettysburg you can re-write history. Can you guide the Rebels to victory and change the course of American history? Would you be able to defeat Lee and ensure a Union victory? The choice and the challenge are yours.

Editor note

This game was re-released -together with "Armada"- in the "Turning Points" Compilation (1994, CCS Ltd. & On-Line Entertainment).
Interestingly the Atari-ST version of this Compilation does not include the game "Waterloo" - the MS-DOS Compilation did!
