Battleground 2: Gettysburg

The game is very well written. I had no installation problems, and it didn't crash once during my playing....uh, testing of the product. The documentation is very complete, with a step-by-step tutorial. The only addition to the documentation that would be more helpful is a little more background information on the battle, for the players that aren't as informed as I was. This game is a must have for all serious war gamers, and is still interesting for casual stategy game players. And who knows, it may even prove educational. I am anxiously awaiting Volume 3 from TalonSoft, as I am sure it will be as superior product as this one is.

Gettysburg ist aber bei aller persönlicher Begeisterung nur etwas für geduldige Profi-Taktiker, die sich gerne in ein komplexes Programm einarbeiten.

The Civil War still provokes strong opinions from people. Since the day the war ended, questions of “what if” have inspired endless debate. Therefore, it's no surprise that people can recreate the military actions of the period through wargames. Of the many Civil War strategy games available on the market, Battleground: Gettysburg comes very close to being the best.

Nur weil man sich zu den Hardcore-Strategen zählt, gefällt einem nicht automatisch Die große Schlacht um Gettysburg. Wer zur taktischen Glückseligkeit ein relativ starres, streng nach Runden und Phasen aufgesplittetes Korsett namens "Spiel" braucht, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Ansonsten empfiehlt sich noch ein bißchen Gedult bis zum Erscheinen des ähnlichen The Civil War von Sierra.
