If you are fascinated by the event, and enjoy game-playing, this one is for you; it really, [i]really[/i] is! [list][*]Beautifully detailed, in full color, game "board"[/*][*]All leaders are present; all regiments, brigades, divisions, & corps[/*][*]Realistic battle strengths & historical orders of battle[/*][*]Long-range rifled artillery, as well as Napoleons which fire cannister at infantry at close range[/*][*]Cavalry units[/*][*]Small scenarios, big scenarios, linked scenarios, and the best of the best: ALL 3 Days Scenario [add-on][/*][*]Excellent 3D graphics[/*][*]Historical uniforms, etc.[/*][*]Scenario variants [including historical, random, and a little of both][/*][*]REAL-TIME PLAY! No movement turns, everything happens at once, as in life. You react to your opponent [computer] and it does to you.[/*][*]Excellent AI - various levels[/*][/list] I am addicted to the 3-Day affair - the complete thing ... it begins at 7:45AM on July 1, with Henry Heth's Confederate lead brigades bumping into stubborn Yankee Cavalry under John Buford, and can end in any number [unlimited] of fashions, including recreating the doomed Pickett's Charge. Everything is there - Jubal Early - The Lutheran Seminary - John Reynolds - Culps Hill - Robert E. Lee - Devil's Den - George Meade - Pitzer's Woods - EVERYTHING! You truly take command & alter the flow of battle. As the battle unfolds, it gets to be more & more a challenge trying to control the increasing numbers of units and stay on top of all the action over the huge field. The soldiers, horses, artillery are all 3D moving things - very realistic - smoke, gunfire, screams, dispatches, orders. You can skirmish, form up in column, advance in brigade fashion, dig in ... it's all there. What a blast! I [i]highly[/i] recommend this great game playable alone, or via the Internet, on your PC!
