Description from the packaging.

(The ultimate user-friendly military simulation)

The Battle of Gettysburg has long been regarded as the turning point of the American Civil War. The timing and location of the battle depended entirely upon the decisions made by Union General George Gordon Meade and Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

What would have happened had there been different generals in command?

Would the battle have been fought on Cemetery and Seminary ridges south of the small Pennsylvania crossroads village of Gettysburg? Or would the decisions by different commanders have resulted in a battle at an alternate location with the outcome changing history?

Decision at Gettysburg places you in the headquarters of either the Union Army of the Potomac or the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. You will have 147 square miles of territory over which to maneuver, the same that confronted both Meade and Lee.

The decisions that re made against those of the computer will control the location of the battle and the manner in which it will be fought.

Decision at Gettysburg allows the simulation player to:

  • Command either army.
  • Combine units.
  • Create new, smaller units.
  • Change the actual outcome.
  • Transfer men and supplies.
  • Send out patrols.
  • Save the game to play later.
  • Play with enemy units either shown or hidden.
  • Historically accurate.
  • Plus many other features.
