The Gettysburg game that Avalon Hill got right - a game for newbies with enough depth to keep most grognards satisfied that can be both taught and played in a single evening.
It's always seemed to me that the AH games could easily be converted to being computer-playable as either 2-player or solitaire. But if anyone ever did it, I missed it.
There have been a few at least, but they have slipped under the radar. Normally done by independent creators rather than companies. Wizard's Quest is one, but I don't know if that is still available.
No doubt about it. That idea was repudiated by the fact another Confederate division had passed thru the town a day earlier and taken anything worth stealing.

It's a solid game for sure.
We played a bunch of this game back in the day. Had a lot of fun with it.
It was rather popular back then.
Really good starter or quick game. Wish there had been a brigade version too. The "advanced" rules in general 25/5 magazine were really good too.
Thanks, I'll check out the "advanced" version.
I never hazarded the original ‘Gettysburg’ advanced game rules . I mainly played with the brigade units standard rules.
Damn, I miss Avalon Hill.
You are not the only one.
I had the pre 88 version. Unit counters were square, and the dice had but 6 sides.
The good 'ol days.

There is now doubt about the looking for shoe idea
Not surprised.
