there were multiple civil war games that were pulled, but it looks like apple's putting at least one of them back up starting today - http://www.gamespot.com/articles/civil-war-game-featuring-confederate-flag-back-on-/1100-6428477/

That gettysburg game is pretty awesome since it has simple control compared to most wargames and has a pretty in-depth campaign with alternate endings.

It still is.

I don't think this guy is right about the patch. Unless somebody else has found proof of this, I'm pretty sure that's just something that would be funny. If it had actually happened.

yeah it has pretty cool strategic concepts such as limited forces and also things like battle damage/fatigue carrying over the next campaign map.

You have to balance taking strategic points with the need to not drive your forces into the ground.

If nobody has yet, comment on his YouTube video with "gently caress you, you loving gently caress". It's the "got stairs? " handshake of the ADVrider crowd. In fact, I'm surprised there's not a FYYFF decal next to the ADV decal under his leg.

It wouldn't make any sense because I'm pretty sure they use that flag on purpose to establish the fact that the Terrans aren't the good guys either :mrgw:
