Are there any good civil war stratgy games. I've been trying to find one ever sense my Civil War Genrals 2 game broke.
I just got XP several months ago and last week I tried to install Gettysburg on my PC. It installed but it wouldn't run and I can't seem to find anything wrong with it. Damn new technology!Originally posted by theotherguyjt
I have civil war 2 and i tried the sid mere's gettsburg but both won't install, i thinks its cuz i have xp but i'm not sure.
I normally wait a while before buying games. They'll eventually show up on eBay or in a bargain bin at Walmart or EB Games. I just bought all three of the Combat Mission games at EB Games, used, so I got three for the price of a new game. Now for HPS sims, I am hooked on their Panzer Campaign series and the Napoleon Campaigns. I have a few Modern conflicts also. I also refuse to buy games for around $60 to $70 CDN as I think they are not worth it and have very few contents i.e.: scenarios and short campaigns. I found that HPS and Matrix release their games with loads of scenarios and good replayability.Originally posted by jdscott7280
Computer game prices are outrageous. Im with you Georgia. I hate spending more than 30 bucks on a game. Especially since games that come out now a days are mainly farg fest real time strategy types. I miss the days of the Campaign series and Operational Art Of War. I havent bought a game in about 6 months or so. Ive been looking at HPSIMMS games and am thinking about buying one or two of them to keep me occupied.
I've only played one that I liked and it was by Interactive Magic, called American Civil WarOriginally posted by theotherguyjt

That's strange. Is this the Talonsoft Battle ground Gettys burg or the Sid Meier's version? I have XP Pro and have no problem running them. Did you try using XP's run as Win98 program? That will usually fix it, and go to the Fireaxis' site and download the patches. If it's the Talonsoft, you need to go to Tiller's site and download the patches which will upgrade it to 32 bit as these are originaly 16 bit programs.Originally posted by GeorgiaDixie

Thanks. Its the Sid Meier's version and I'll try that. I'll check back with the results.Originally posted by Hunter

Yep that was a great game if now a bit dated. ( You you find also find the updated maps and patches to get to rum.) It had all the individual unit strength data to make a strategic level game which with todays technology could also have tactical level battles. Always wished someone would redo it on that basis.Originally posted by hogdriver
