I believe I talked my dad into buying me that version from the gift shop in Gettysburg, way back when-- in the early 70s I thought. First saw hexagon grid with original Battle of the Bulge.

I bought Panzerblitz when I was about 11 and couldn't get the hang of it "Tournament Level III" it said. So I bought this one and was hooked on A.H. games and then SPI and GDW.......

My dad had this game. I don't know what version from the 60's it was. I found it in the basement on a shelf in the mid 70's. It got me hooked onto reading about the civil war. Unfortunatley I lost the pieces. MY BAD!! Sorry POP!!

My first wargame. A classic for sure. The lethal CRT made things move quickly.

Nice review. I always wondered about that game with the large counters etc. My first board game was Tactics 2, a long time ago!!

I played this game tons of time, way back in the 60s. Then I bought 1977 version, man was that a bomb.

My first exposure to this game was what's known as the revised 61 edition. It had counters like the 64 edition, and a hex map.

The square grid and the lack of terrain effects on movement in the game. Those are two huge issues.

A Corps takes too long to move on a PC, but it's a snap on the '64 Gettysburg board game. Ambiguities and non-historical functions in the game (if noticed) are part of its "educational" effect (in reading comprehension and history). Ironical, ain't it?

This was the first war game I ever owned or played was given to me by a friend who couldn't figure out the rules I wish I still had it
