Description from the packaging.

September 17, 1862- Sharpsburg, MD.
The bloodiest single day in American history!

Set up and take command of Lee's army of Northern Virginia and "whup them Yankee aggressors" or grab the reigns of McClellan's Army of the Potomac and squash the rebellion once and for all!

Battleground 5: Antietam again takes TalonSoft's award-winning Battleground series to the hallowed grounds of the American Civil War! A spectacularly rendered 3-D panoramic battlefield highlights this struggle, the bloodiest single day in American history.

Battleground 5: Antietam provides many historical and "What if" scenarios detailing the momentous struggle along the banks of Antietam Creek. Lavish attention to detail, gorgeous 3-D graphics and full-color re-enactment videos blend into an exciting extravaganza of true multimedia entertainment!

  • Tangle with a crafty computer opponent or play head-to-head against your favorite human via modem-to-modem, null modem, play by e-mail or two-player Hot Seat fog of war!
  • Variable time for release of Union corps.
  • Multiple scenarios include The Cornfield, The Sunken Road, and Burnside's Bridge.
  • Variable Command Control: Command some of or all of your army- ideal for novices!
  • Also includes the Battle of South Mountain!
  • Stirring period music by Bobby Horton, contributor to the Ken Burns PBS Civil War TV series!

Caution: The Battleground Series has been known to cause sleepless nights, loss of contact with family and friends, and a decreased interest in one's job!
