With so many beautiful, wonderful, detailed boardgames covering Gettysburg, why do you guys insist on playing with those little video toys of the battle?!?!?!   :idiot2: You want Gettysburg?  Here's how to play Gettysburg!!!

Have you tried John Tiller's Civil War campaigns? Lots of electronic chit kicking, with lots of nerdy friends to play with at Grogheads. Problem solved for ya! ;)
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

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).

Health bars are replenished every time you sip your adult beverage.  The more sipping, the more your healthbar increases.
