Gettysburg: Badges of Courage

A tactical Civil War wargame that models brigade-level combat across the three days of a single battle. Players command infantry, artillery and cavalry organized into divisions, corps and armies, maneuvering to seize and hold terrain features such as Little Round Top and Cemetery Ridge. Each day's fight can be played as a standalone scenario or combined into a battle-long campaign, with reinforcements arriving via roads under player-influenced timing and routes. The order of battle uses historical units and leaders, and the system favors maintaining division and corps integrity when issuing orders and coordinating attacks.
