The Three Days of Gettysburg (Deluxe Edition)

Three Days of Gettysburg traces its lineage back to Richard Berg’s «Terrible Swift Sword» (1976). Take command of the Union Army of the Potomac or the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, the largest battle of the American Civil War.

Players command their armies via the chain of command from corps down through divisions and brigades to the individual units – regiments of infantry and batteries of artillery. The series relies on interactive chit-pull mechanics to simulate the often-chaotic nature of the 19th Century battlefield at the regimental level.

Three Days of Gettysburg Deluxe Edition will include ten-plus scenarios. They range from small skirmisher contests on half-sized maps to the ultimate Gettysburg experience on four full full-sized maps depicting the entire battle, including the East Cavalry Battlefield! Other scenarios will depict the first day’s fight for the hills surrounding Gettysburg; the second day’s assault on Sickle’s salient; the third day’s cavalry fight on Cress Ridge; Buford’s defense against Heth as his division approaches Gettysburg using the new skirmisher rules; the July 2nd evening assault on Cemetery Hill; the fight north of town on July 1st, and several others. The game includes smaller scenario maps; experienced players will be able to play many of the scenarios in one sitting. The 3DoG Deluxe edition will include many exclusive rules to represent the special situations at Gettysburg. However, many rules are optional, allowing players to decide what level of complexity they want.
