I would have to see a lot more about it first... looks a little hokey right now graphics wise, and it looks like it doesn't even include unit designations!? "South Cannon" Are you kidding me? If it doesn't include actuall units based in reality, there's no way...

Some nice graphics ... but is the game actually playable, or just another "real-time" Sid Meier clone clickfest?

The graphics look about the same as in the Activision Bull Run, Take Command. At least the units are correctly named. The game was designed by Mad Minute. Its fun to play but not PBEM option, and it was only 19.95 at the local Target store.

We should only be so lucky to have another SMG with updated graphics etc. :-)

Look at the forum. I read nothing much except complaints about their games.

Not very much on the site about the Gettysberg game, except a few screen shots.

Looks like all their games are the cheap bargain basement type that Game stores leave at the bottom of the shelves. Not much hope for this... Only thing going for it was it was turn-based.[:(]

I'd bet that Union flagbearer (the third picture on the right) is hoping no one turns around. [:D]
