Command the Battle of Gettysburg

Command the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee or the Army of the Potomac under George G. Meade. This Battle of Gettysburg game moves across Seminary Ridge, Cemetery Ridge, Little Round Top, and the fields of Pickett's Charge. Every engagement asks you to balance position, timing, fatigue, morale, and supply while adapting to battlefield conditions.

Real-Time Tactical Wargame Gameplay

Gettysburg is not a turn-based game. It combines real-time tactical command with pause-and-order controls, giving you time to assess the historical battlefield, issue orders, and resume the simulation as infantry, cavalry, and artillery respond.
