Acheter RBM Studio's Gettysburg PC

Prenez le commandement des forces confédérées ou de l'Union lors de la Battle of Gettysburg, le choc le plus sanglant de la guerre de Sécession américaine. Les ordres de bataille historiquement précis déterminent l'arrivée et les positions des renforts, vous défiant de surpasser de vrais généraux comme Lee ou Meade. Les Confédérés cherchent à écraser l'ennemi ou à ouvrir la voie à une invasion du Nord, tandis que l'Union vise à compenser ses pertes et à protéger les routes vers D.C. Ce jeu de stratégie ressuscite les wargames sur plateau des années 1970-1980, sur une carte hexagonale avec des marqueurs d'unités. Les joueurs alternent leurs tours en séquence « I go, you go » jusqu'à ce que l'un passe son tour, offrant à l'adversaire des actions libres aléatoires - passez trop tôt et risquez l'encerclement. Les combats reposent sur des jets de dés influencés par le terrain, les lignes, les flanquements et une artillerie limitée, capable de déclencher des duels aux pertes supplémentaires. Jouez solo pour maîtriser les règles en contrôlant les deux camps, ou affrontez des humains en ligne.

In RBM Studio's Gettysburg, take command of either the Confederate or Union forces for the Battle of Gettysburg, the single bloodiest battle of the U.S. Civil War. Each side has an historically accurate order of battle that details when and where reinforcements will arrive, letting the player attempt to outdo the generals of history. As the Confederate commander Lee, it's your task to either crush the Union forces or secure a safe route for your continued invasion of the North. As the Union commander Meade, you must at least match the losses inflicted by the Confederates while also securing the roads leaving Gettysburg towards D.C.

RBM Studio's Gettysburg features gameplay based on the historical wargaming boardgames of the 70's and 80's. Players maneuver markers that represent their units on a hexagonal map that mimics the gameboard and cardboard counters of traditional boardgames. Turns are completed in an "I go, you go" style, wherein players alternate their turns with their opponent until one player passes. Once that happens, a random number of unopposed actions are given to their opponent. Pass too early and you risk giving your opponent the opportunity to maneuver completely around your forces. Combat is resolved through die rolls modified by terrain, battle line factors, and the use of artillery support. Attackers benefit from flanking defenders. Defenders benefit from being in defensible terrain.

Artillery support is a finite resource, so think carefully about when to use it. If both players use artillery in an engagement, an artillery duel is conducted in which at most one player will receive the bonus but both players risk losing additional artillery support if their opponent's cannon manage to hit their own.

The Confederates begin the game with less artillery support but ultimately receive more units and benefit from a greater area of influence generated by General Lee. Only the Union player can deploy a special sharpshooter unit that protects a single hex from the Confederate advance. Careful placement of this unit can help block a Confederate advance farther into the North.
