Gettysburg: The Tide Turns

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, is considered by many the turning point of the American Civil War.

Lasted three days, from July 1st to July 3rd, 1863, the battle saw many epic and tragic moments, culminating in the famous Pickett’s Charge, the desperate frontal assault of the confederates against the unionist defensive lines at Cemetery Ridge.

Today, Shenandoah and Slitherine are very proud to release Gettysburg: The Tide Turns, the brilliant hex-based wargame that will make you relive all the hard tactical choices the Confederates and the Unionists had to take during these long and crucial days of fierce fighting. Watch the Gettysburg: The Tide Turns Launch Trailer here.

But the news is not over! We have just opened the gates for the first Gettysburg: The Tide Turns Tournament!

What are you waiting? Grab Gettysburg: The Tide Turns now!

The development history of Gettysburg: the Tide Turns has been a rollercoaster ride. When Slitherine acquired the rights to complete the game three years ago, our expectations were that we would deliver the game in a matter of months. That turned out to be impossible and we had to rewrite huge chunks of the code from scratch, taking 3 years rather than 3 months.

Gettysburg: The Tide Turns will be available for PC on Thursday (July 13th).

After a long series of challenging events, we are now ready to deliver the PC version of the game. All backers of the original Kickstarter project will soon receive an email detailing all the granted rewards. At this point in time, there are some rewards that are impossible to distribute. Nevertheless, we came up with a plan to reward all backers and hopefully make everyone who decided to invest in this game pleased and positive.

Stay tuned! Check out the official product page and find out more about the game!

Prepare for the battle which shaped the fate of America: Gettysburg: The Tide Turns is coming soon on PC and Steam!

Gettysburg: The Tide Turns, is a turn-based wargame where players will be able to take command of Union or Confederate forces in the iconic battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863.

The game is easy to learn thanks to its clear and minimalistic interface but it is challenging for its innovative activation system. Inspired by board-games, the turn system randomizes when each division moves and fights so each replaying of the famous battle will feel different from the previous one. You will need to learn how to react to ever changing tactical situations.

With tons of period units including infantry, cavalry and artillery and an accurately recreated order of battle, your decisions and military performances will play a crucial role in defining the outcome.

The game will soon go into Beta, and if you’d like to contribute to the bug-fixing process, you can apply here!

Lead your army, face your enemy and win the battle!
