The Guns of Gettysburg

A simulation of the largest battle of the American Civil War that uses a diceless, cardless command system to govern movement and combat. Units appear as linear blocks on a play surface styled after 19th-century military battlemaps, producing a visual and tactical feel similar to period maps while preserving fog-of-war elements. Rules are streamlined for relatively fast play but model historical limitations and command challenges, offering an abstracted tactical simulation rather than a traditional hex-and-counter wargame.
