Gettysburg: Armored Warfare had a questionable release date and model for quite some time, but now it has all been revealed along with the release date. It will be coming out tomorrow on Steam and other digital distribution services, like Gamersgate, for PC only. For a while they kept hinting that it might be free to play, but now it has come out with a $10 price tag. Feel free to check out my previous post on the game if you want more information on it, but here is a basic list of what will be in the game, also a quick overview, plus at the end I have some news about the first mod for the game.



Gettysburg is a RTS/FPS hybrid that puts you in control of massive armies with a personal touch that let's you customize your army and take control of individual units.
