Hmm, if those are actual game graphics I'm not sure I like what I'm seeing...
More "minimalist" images on the Product Page. Fortunately, the overall look doesn't appear to be quite as stark as that portrayed in the vid.

Is this what has been rescued from the Shenandoah Studios Kickstarter? Or is it a totally new IP?
A game for me.... :)
Looks good to me. It's hexes and chits so it is oh going to look so good. I am interested in the system of movement. I hope it is based on terrain, situation and the commander as opposed to a die roll (in reference to when units move)

Good question. The map looks very familiar.
Ummmm...no.

I think this may be a game that was knocking around a few years back ? Funny their site says it is hex based ... that game wasn't and this doesn't look like it is from the trailer.
I am pretty certain this has its genesis in a real time game on Gettysburg ... cant remember name or site now though but still have the files somewhere - he was charging a lot for what it was back then.
Corse - could be wrong ....
A very definite maybe.
It reminded me of this game: Battleplan: American Civil War

Oh ill probably get this. But why does it look like a mobile port
According to this post it IS the Shenandoah Studios effort... hmmmm. I backed that on Kickstarter. Haven't heard a thing about it since.

Because it does look like a bloody awful mobile port.
For god's sake, Gameleaper, make a damn hex and counter Gettysburg game and save us from this travesty!
This actually looks like a Ultimate General Gettysburg and AGEOD crossover. Lack of hexes and seemingly fluid movement (Im guessing I cant tell) along with the activation rules
Just clarify in the event of any confusion...
Shenandoah Studios was taken over by Slitherine in 2015 http://www.develop-online.net/interview/shenandoah-s-rearmament-how-slitherine-saved-the-strategy-studio/0211304 http://www.mcvuk.com/press-releases/read/a-new-era-for-shenandoah-studio/0154932 and AFAIK is still headed by Ionut Georgescu, owner of 88mm Games https://www.facebook.com/88mmGames, who produced games like Frontline - Road to Moscow. http://grogheads.com/?p=4526#more-4526
It's main focus is mobile games, but has more recently ported over games like the Battle of the Bulge to the PC. http://grogheads.com/?p=9410#more-9410
I would not surprise me if there is a lot of similarity in approach to Gettysburg, based on what has already been done by the two studios.

Because it probably is.
See my above post, as the studio's focus at least historically is producing mobile games, which have ported to the PC as with Battle of the Bulge.

Basically. It was taken over by Slitherine back in 2015.

^Beautiful map
'Tis is. And just razzing - I always welcome new GB PC games but man, sure would love to see a port of that one with full AI!
Looking at that map, it speaks for myself why I stick to PC games.
Yea, that looks like work.
Cretins :P
My PC units don't panic and flee when a strong wind comes through the window.
Looking at that map makes me want a gaming table even more. :smitten:
Aye...she's a beauty!!

That's why the top on GJK's table folds down! O0
I'm surprised he doesn't have wargame porn plastered to the underside of that top.

I took it down for the pictures....didn't want you all to think that I was some sort of dork or something. Seriously though, I do want to mount a piece of sheet metal on the underside that I can then use magnets to hold up the charts and notes (and a piece of grog-porn or two).
