Slitherine vient de dévoiler de premières images de ce jeu initialement prévu par le studio Shenandoah pour iOS, projet financé avec succès via Kickstarter en août 2013 mais qui depuis était tombé dans les oubliettes. Bonne nouvelle donc, si ce n’est pour les joueurs sur tablettes, tout au moins pour ceux sur PC qui devraient pouvoir bientôt goûter à cette jolie simulation en tour par tour de la bataille de Gettysburg.
Pour plus d’informations sur Gettysburg – The Tide Turns, dont la date de sortie n’est pas encore connue mais dont la phase bêta devrait commencer prochainement (les inscriptions se font par ici), voyez cette page chez l’éditeur.

War for freedom
Gettysburg: The Tide Turns is coming soon on PC!Epsom, UK – June 22, 2016.
« It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. » – Robert E. LeeGettysburg: The Tide Turns, is a turn-based wargame where players will be able to take command of Union or Confederate forces in a rendezvous with history at the town of Gettysburg in July of 1863.
The game is easy to learn thanks to its clear and minimalistic interface but it is challenging for its innovative activation system. Inspired by board-games, the turn system randomizes when each division moves and fights. So each replaying of the famous battle will feel different from the previous one. Players will need to learn how to react to ever changing tactical situations.
With tons of period units including infantry, cavalry and artillery, decisions and military performances will play a crucial role in the result.
This expansion is now ready to enter the beta phase on PC!
We invite players to help us test it!Lead your army, face your enemy and win the battle!
