American Civil War: Gettysburg Review

Yikes! Where do I begin.... This turn-based game takes place during the time of the American Civil War. In this game you command either the North or South in a campaign made up of many missions and in a multi-player mode. There are five different kinds of units: General, Infantry, Militia, Cavalry, and Cannon. The general unit provides morale to the rest of the army. The infantry unit is a regular fighting unit and has nothing special. The militia unit is weaker than the infantry unit. The cavalry unit is pretty self explanatory..... The cannon unit is an artillery unit. As the leader of your army, you have several commands to execute and a few formations to organize your battalions into. This game will exercise your mind as you will be forced to use good strategies or face defeat. Another good feature is that you can zoom in on the battle waging between your army and your opponent and see the battle up close. The game also applies a fighting bonus depending on if you are on high ground and if you have cover. Although this game is good for the mind, the missions can be very hard and annoying (at least for me). When I could not beat any more levels I stopped playing the game. If you are looking for a long time on multi-player mode, this is not the game for it. From what I know and have experienced, not too many people play this game. If they did, there would be many multi-player matches available.
