The South Mountain battlefield is particularly scenic, as I’m sure you can imagine! Second, let’s look at a few screenshots of various areas in Scourge of War: Antietam. I want to start you off with a really cool video comparing real images taken just after the battle with the game’s depiction of those areas.

Note that you MUST own the original Scourge of War: Gettysburg to be able to play the map pack. In late December 2o11, they launched Scourge of War: Antietam, a massive $20 map/scenario pack add-on for Scourge of War: Gettysburg. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, it is a tactical level real-time game where you command anything from a brigade to an army. With that said, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the makers of Scourge of War: Gettysburg have been busy in my absence with the release of two new map packs for the game. I did not work on Antietam or Pipe Creek, and paid the full amount for both add-on map/scenario packs.Ī growing young family makes it difficult if not impossible to find time to play wargames, and I found this to be very true over the past few years. Full Disclosure: I worked on the Scourge of War: Gettysburg game for a period of time, completing OOBs for the first two days before leaving due to the birth of my son Brock in late 2008.
