The Three Days of Gettysburg is a totally new look at the battle, a view that brings players even closer to the action, even more deeply into the decisions that make Gettysburg one of the most playable of all battle games.

The Three Days of Gettysburg is portrayed at a regimental level, and it contains all of the individual unit information you need to fîght the battle: weapon type, individual Cohesion (Morale) Ratings, and a four-level command hierarchy, from brigadiers to Commanding Generais Lee and Meade.

But The Three Days of Gettysburg provides even more: an attention to detail balanced by an elegant, ease of play. The Three Days of Gettysburg may be a monster in size - three spectacular maps and over 1600 beautiful counters - but it sti11 plays like an old, comfortable favorite.

Game Features and Contents:

1680, multi-colored counters.
Three full-color 22x34 inch mapsheets
A revised Command System, using Maximum Effectiveness to portray the strengths and viscitudes of battlefield command.
Seven scenarios, from microcosm one-mappers to the full three-day battle.
Brigadiers rated with Action Profiles so that, when on their own, you may never know exactly what they’ll do! Will an aggressive Dick Garnett recklessly charge everyone in sight, seeking to regain his lost honor; will a cautious Stannard sit and watch, or will an unreliable Iverson hit the bottlc instead of the front line?
Artillery Barrage, simplified Ammo rules, spécial rules for Green units, and an optional Fatigue Rule that really places an emphasis on careful unit usage.
A remarkably simple Shock Table that features Continuous Attack - you can roll up the enemy’s flank in one massive charge.
