Review - Scourge of War: Gettysburg
Heres my brief review of NorbSoft’s unofficial sequel to Sid Meier’s Gettysburg.
This game came out years ago and I finally shelled out the money for it. I want to see if it can compare to Sid Meier’s Gettysburg and get me excited in real time strategic wargaming again.
Pros.
- The Epic Scale of Game.
You command up to 80,000 troops, send them anywhere anytime to fight and win the battle. You can literally remake history. One game that I played was the 72 hr mod, whereby you can command The Confederate Army from July 1st all the way to the last day of Gettysburg. Im on July 2nd, where I took Cemetery Hill, took and lost Culps Hill and am trying to hold back a Union counterattack. Loving it.
- Very Addicting
Just like Sid Meier’s Gettysburg I have spent hours and hours playing. I usually tell myself Ill shut it off after the next attack. Its hard especially when you see your boys whipping the enemy and pushing them back.
- Great Sound Effects.
I love hearing the games sound effects. The constant popping of guns going off and cannons firing. Very immersive. One cool feature I like is when you move towards battle the sounds of guns and cannon get louder and you actually feel as if your there.
- Historical Accuracy
From the unit commanders, order of battle, to even the building locations, etc. everything feels accurate.
- Command and Control
You can issue orders to your subordinates to hold, attack or defend a location. I find this very useful, especially when managing 70,000 troops.
Cons.
- Better Unit Commands
Option is needed to tell your regiment which enemy unit you want them to charge at. So if your facing 3 enemy units you want them to attack the right one. Would also love a option where I can tell my regiment to fire in volleys
- A easier way to find Corps, Division, & Brigade commanders
I cant tell you how hard it is to find my commanders. You have to search through the map to find them or through other methods that take time. A simple solution would be to remove the amount of clutter from the map. Make it easier to find units and commanders.
- Add a 3 day sandbox mode with nights.
Currently there is a mod out there for this but it doesnt include night actions and you have to find the mod online. Should come with the game.
- Unlock all scenarios.
I dont understand why to play some scenarios you have to play and complete others. Does Not Make Sense. I paid my money to play what I want to play when I want to play it.
- Allow us to see enemy troop numbers & how many casualties we inflicted on them.
Currently you dont know how many troops a enemy regiment has …you have to guess by the size of their line…. and The only way you can see how much damage you inflicted on the enemy is by a score counter on the screen. (The way this works is if you kill 3 of the enemy and he kills 1 of your guys your score ends up being 2). Or by going into another screen where it tells you the figure of how many enemy your unit killed in total. I recommend just implementing a simpler system. Just tell us how many of the enemy there is and how many we killed. Remember its just a game it doesnt need to be 110% true to life. The object of the game is to have fun.
- Better Command & Control.
There are only a few options when issuing orders to commanders. Attack, Defend, Hold, Probe, etc. I would like to see a system implemented where you can quickly tell a commander where and how to deploy there men, so you know exactly how the lines will form.
- Better Graphics
I really wanted to see HD graphics in this game. From unit sprites to landscape. They are good but not WOW. I wanted them to be on the level with Empire Total War. I hope in future titles they implement this.
All in all I really love this game. Its not perfect and needs improvements but Im really :) that I spent my money on it. I think SOW: Gettysburg 2 with better graphics, and a more intuitive user interface & gameplay will WOW me. Until then back to SOW Gettysburg.
Im gonna post some videos soon of my 72hr Mod.
* Oh also just another tip. Wish the developer would allow scenarios to continue beyond you capturing the objectives. I would love to start the game trying to take McPherson’s Ridge with Heth’s Division and continue to fight until day 3

The civil war between the Union and Confederate armies was a bloody and turbulent chapter of American history, and one that Gunnar Games and GameMill attempt to capture in the seek-and-find adventure Hidden Mysteries - Civil War.While a narrative chock full of historical details should be enough to intrigue those with an interest in the time period.

Call Of Duty: World At War
The single player campaign is like playing a movie. The action is intense all the way and there are some gruesome cinematics that portray the horrors of WWII. The best part of the game in my opinion is the multiplayer campaign. The game allows you to rank up to several levels. You gain points by killing enemies, saving your allies, or completing challenges.
