It says something aboutGettysburg: Armored Warfarethat while I’ll probably never play it myself, I can get enjoyment from the game simply knowing that such a thing exists. This alternate-reality take on the Civil War is full of zeppelins and dudes with miniguns; I’d be dead on the inside if that didn’t make me happy.

The premise is set against a real-time strategy backdrop in which you may jump down to the troop level for third-person shooter gameplay. Knowing this and that servers handle up to 64 players and 1,000 controllable units has me eager to see highlights on YouTube.
