This definitive grand tactical wargame on the American Civil War is the work of a dedicated team that put in effort beyond 100% in terms of authenticity, challenging AI and gameplay mechanics. With our latest patch, the DRM is removed and is available to anyone who has purchased Gettysburg, no matter where!

 

After nearly 150 years, players can now take command of Union or Confederate soldiers during the Battle of Gettysburg: the battle that changed the tide of the American Civil War. Command authentically-adorned troops armed with rifles, cannons and other weapons that have been pain-stakingly implemented with incredible attention to detail and historical accuracy. With meticulously-researched orders of battle and incredibly detailed and historic maps, Scourge of War: Gettysburg is no more a wargame than it is a lesson on American Civil War history.

Scourge of War: Gettysburg comes overflowing with battles and scenarios, as well as multiple "what-if" situations to keep players on their toes. Believe that as Confederate general Robert E. Lee that you can secure victory against all odds? Can you hold Little Round Top as General Chamberlain? Do you think you can change history at Pickett's Charge? You can either repeat history or create it!
 

Take the battle online with allies and enemies, with up to 32 players controlling troops on either side, and recreate the tense moments on the field felt from almost 150 years ago. Stand out amongst your peers or be reviled within the cadres of your enemies, it all lies on you!

Don't Forget to Pick Up Scourge of War: Pipe Creek and Antietam!
Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps    Panzer Corps: Afrika Korps 

Along with the release of Scourge of War: Gettysburg, we are also happy to support the release of its two expansions: Pipe Creek and Antietam! These two battle expansions offer more scenarios, more maps for singleplayer and multiplayer games, and of course more history for any American Civil War fan. The best part is that these expansions will work with any copy of Scourge of War: Gettysburg that has been purchased.

 

Scourge of War: Pipe Creek features the amazing "what-if" situation if the Battle of Gettysburg did not occur. The Pipe Creek Line was originally a battle plan set up by the Union's Army of the Potomac as part of a circular assignment of the army's corps. With historically-accurate documents as the basis for Pipe Creek, players will be treading into new ground and history!

 

Scourge of War: Antietam focuses on one of the battles that featured one of the bloodiest days in American battle history. Take part in the first battle on Union soil as the Confederates try to continue their offensive into Maryland while the Union tries to hold them back. With intense and bloody fighting on both sides leading to sites such as "Bloody Lane" with nearly 6,000 soldiers lost, the Battle of Antietam ended as a stalemate but in the Union's favor as Abraham Lincoln gained the confidence to announce the Emancipation Proclamation, which also discourged British and French support for the Confederates.
