The playability of Scourge of War: Gettysburg is also one of its strongest assets. This is latest a new game engine called Scourge of War. Informally the gaming community has dubbed it “the next iteration of the Take Command! System,” though technically that is not the case. The Scourge of War System allows for the player to control the strategy of every unit from the Corps level down. However, this level of interaction can be challenging to players. Indeed, issuing orders haphazardly in this game can lead to disastrous results; as in battle, there are simply too many things happening all around you to allow you to focus on any individual unit for too long. The Scourge of War System is an honest yet unforgiving one. If mishandled, your units will suffer grievously. Master it and you will come closer to experiencing command in the Civil War than any other game currently available. One of those things to concern you is not that your orders may not be followed; thanks to an ingenious Courier System, which is used to deliver battlefield orders to units, those orders may not even be received. I have seen dispatch riders get blown to smithereens, and have watched others ride perilously close to the enemy ranks only to be summarily shot. Add to those souls the riders that I can only assume got lost, and you may begin to feel a measure of the realistic tactical confusion found in the game. Locking the camera view to that of the tactical commander also adds to the pulse-pounding sense of immersion that can occur while playing Scourge of War: Gettysburg.
