	Antietam! -- Page 1 of 1 -- - Gameworld Network
		Antietam!, developed by Breakaway Games, is largely nothing more than an improved Gettysburg!, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
		is a real time game using symbolic units (in other words every single participant is not literally represented on the battlefield) and the number crunching is all behind the scenes, the inclusion of the fire arrows is extremely helpful in telling how an engagement is faring at a glance.
		Antietam Creek and the Potomac River also are represented, the latter having little impact on the game while the former plays an important role.

		Battle Cry elegantly recreates the greatest clashes of the Civil War.
		The battles and strategies, although "paraphrased" by the rules, reflect the actual places and units and people in the Civil War.
		While other great war games such as Axis and Allies present a static board and static starting position, Battle Cry provides rules which serve for any of the 15 included scenarios, as well as the many additional scenarios to be found on the net, or created by yourself.

	Review - Sid Meier's Antietam! // PC /// Eurogamer
		Antietam is a real time wargame set during the American Civil War, recreating the bloodiest day in American military history, in which around four thousand men were killed and another seventeen thousand wounded.
		A single battle might not sound like much, but the battlefield is enormous and the game features a whole range of scenarios, from short skirmishes involving a handful of units in a little corner of the map to replaying the entire battle, something which takes up to twelve hours to accomplish.
		The game is overwhelmingly complex at the best of times, with a huge battlefield to watch over and dozens of seperate units to control in the full battle scenarios.

	GameSpot: Back in Battle with Antietam! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		And to make sure the games feels authentic, Civil War historian and game designer Joe Balkoski was employed to faithfully re-create the fateful battle at Antietam Creek.
		It will include a 1,800-page manuscript called Ezra Carmen's Battle of Antietam, which was written by the commander of the 13th New Jersey Volunteer infantry who had become obsessed with the battle.
		The final game will also feature additional terrain types, including standing corn, stubble fields, plowed fields, dridges, fords, sunken roads and embankments, as well as 20 scenarios with historical and speculative variants for full-day or half-day battles.

	The Adrenaline Vault Review of Sid Meier's Antietam! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Antietam tells the stories of the 90,000 men who fought one of the most brutal battles in the most deadly war in United States history.
		Antietam puts the player in charge of either the Union or Confederate forces, starting with a few units in the tutorial and finishing with an exacting recreation of the entire battle.
		When playing the entire battle, it is almost better to have another three generals at your virtual side--there is no pausing to issue orders in multiplayer, and the amount of troops that need to be attended to may prove to be too much for one person.

		A random scenario generator is also included in Antietam!, with four types of engagements including small skirmishes, minor altercations, moderate engagement and large battles.
		Antietam also presents an army of special units, all designed and rendered in historically detailed uniforms of the Union and Confederate armies.
		As a result, you don’t play Antietam in a series of engagements, but rather as an entire battle beginning in the morning, and running through the day until early evening.

	The Battle Of Antietam Part V
		The Ninth Corps at the battle of the Antietam contained four divisions, those of Willcox, Sturgis, and Rodman, and the Kanawha division, temporarily attached to the Army of the Potomac, under General Cox.
		On the afternoon of the 16th, the whole corps, except Willcox's division, was moved forward and to the left to the rear slope of the ridges on the left bank of the Antietam, its centre being nearly opposite the stone bridge.
		Tactically, the battle of the Antietam was a drawn battle, with the advantage inclining slightly to the side of the Federals, who gained some ground and took more trophies than they lost.

		Gettysburg presented a three day battle over a fairly large area, and at times it seemed hard to grasp the scope of what you were doing and how the battle was going.
		With Antietam the focus is much tighter- a single day battle (although there are several alternative battles offered)- and the whole game benefits.
		Antietam is no exception, as several ease of use aspects have been improved.

		It was my first game with a live opponent and it was Bruno's very first try at it.
		ANALYSIS: I Corps attack in the north was unimaginative but perhaps because of XII joining in, Bruno over-reacted to it by sending lots of troops in the area and counterattack.
		This early game drive up north gave some points to Bruno although it was less productive than it could have been since he took some time to realize the full advantage of the Confeds +2 attack bonus so he did less attacks than he could have done.

		You can pause the game or slow it down if necessary, but in the heat of battle quick thinking is important.
		The game occasionally pauses to wait for data to be passed back and forth, but typically plays out almost as fast as solitaire.
		Many of the scenarios are just segments of the entire battle ("Dawn in the Cornfield", "Burnside's Bridge") so you typically end up with 4 or 5 brigades (10 to 15 regiments) per side in a battle.

		I would attempt to detail some of the particulars of the battle, but you doubtless have had it all from much abler pens than mine; permit me, however, to mention a few particulars, not because you may not have heard then, but I think they can not be too notorious.
		Our company and regiment were small by the time that the battle of Antietam came on, and we had but one commissioned officer to lead our company in that deadly battle, and that was our 2d Lieut., (W.R. Randall) and he done his duty like a New York officer should do it.
		Something over 700 were wounded in the battle of Antietam; the rest were sick of various kinds of disease; and a more fortunate circumstance could not have occurred to the wounded than to have Dr. Vanderkift take charge at that time.

	John B. Gordon at Antietam
		At Antietam, or Sharpsburg, as the Confederates call it, on the soil of Maryland, occurred one of the most desperate though indecisive battles of modern times.
		The space over which the assaulting columns were to march, and on which was soon to occur the tremendous struggle, consisted of smooth and gentle undulations and a narrow valley covered with green grass and growing corn.
		Gordon was soon with me. When it was known that the battle was on, she had at once started toward the front.

		One problem that is present in the game is the inability to change the resolution of the game screen.
		The game play is very unique compared to other historical real-time strategy titles, and the ability to send brigades of troops into battle with the yell of a commander is something not offered by most games.
		Sending troops into battle is easy as well, as you can insist the battalion charge the enemy by pressing the appropriate button at the bottom of the menu or by using a hotkey.

		Like the battle itself on that final day at Gettysburg, Wert's narrative unfolds with breakneck speed, and sometimes with so much detail as to yield momentary confusion as it proceeds from one butchery to the next.
