Last Chance for Victory

Last Chance for Victory is the next entry in The Gamers’ Line of Battle series (LoB) which simulates the Battle of Gettysburg. It is the second game in the series, following the well-received None but Heroes about the Battle of Antietam.

The story of Gettysburg is well known or, I should say, the popular rendition of the battle is well known and has certainly been simulated multiple times.

As is usually the case with stripped down, accepted versions of complex events, this narrative misses much flavor and deeper understanding of what went on. It’s the ‘auto-tour’ version of a much more involved event.

Many things are simply not brought out, or put into proper context, in the affirmed version of the battle.
