STOCK PHOTOS ONLYBattleground: Bulge Deluxe 1& Battleground: Gettysburg 2Battleground 1: Bulge is like no other historical strategy game you've ever played. With the revolutionary Battleview combat system you can relive crucial moment during the Battle of the Bulge, the most famous American land battle of WWII. Can you hold off the advancing German war machine? Dig in with the U.S. 101st Ariborne defending freedom from the Nazis at Bastogne, or ride to victory with the legendary German King Tiger tank. Take command of Peiper's infamous SS or lead a blistering U.S. counterattack to retake Stoumont. This game is Battleground: Ardennes patched to the latest version 1.33. It adds two new map modules, Rochefort and St. Vith, along with 14 new scenarios.

By the middle of 1863, the American Civil War had been raging for over two years, and under the brilliant leadership of Robert E. Lee, the Confederate forces penetrated Union territory, advancing toward Washington. A minor skirmish near the small Pennsylvania settlement of Gettysburg soon developed into the most famous conflict ever fought on American soil, changing the course of the Civil War. Following the traditional wargaming style of turn-based, hex-grid format gameplay, Talonsoft brings this epic struggle to life with Battleground 2: Gettysburg. Take control of the Confederate or Union armies for the three day battle, or play a variety of scenarios based on key engagements, including Culp's Hill, Little Round Top, and Pickett's Charge.As in other releases in the Battleground series, a hand-drawn map recreates the battlefield landscape as accurately as possible. Divided into hexes, with each individual hex representing a scale of 125 yards, the goal of each scenario is to capture (or defend) a series of designated "objective hexes" on the map. Scenarios consist of turns in which the gamer can move units, perform formation and facing changes, or attack with melee and offensive fire. Factors including supply, leadership elements, reinforcements, fatigue, fog of war and line of site were built into the game engine for historical accuracy.Alongside an AI opponent, Battleground 2: Gettysburg features multi-player options for two gamers with modem, play by e-mail and alternating turn choices. Newcomers to wargaming may wish to utilize the variable command system, which allows the gamer to issue orders to individual leaders during the battle. Combined with multimedia video and period specific music to provide a Civil War atmosphere, Talonsoft's Battleground 2: Gettysburg openly challenges the budding general with a deafening "rebel yell!"For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections]ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE

WHAT YOU GET:

This sale is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the sale is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

SHIPPING:

We typically ship all items out within 2-4 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if doesn't automatically adjust it.

International buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to offerding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
