SID MEIER'S CIVIL WAR COLLECTION

This bundle contains the full versions of both Sid Meier's Gettysburg! and Sid Meier's Antietam!. These two games are from Firaxis, the development house founded by undisputed industry giant Sid Meier. Inspired by the dynamic strategy and emotional depth of the War Between the States, each of these two emphatically punctuated titles has drawn critical respect and popular success in its own right. In addition to the original versions of both award-winning Civil War games, this bundle offers gamers a new South Mountain campaign featuring two new maps and eight new scenarios.

The Collection gathers two historically focused tactical/operational titles that put players in command of brigade- and division-sized forces during some of the most famous engagements of the American Civil War. Both games emphasize command decisions, unit cohesion, terrain, morale, and timing—elements that recreate the tactical dilemmas faced by commanders on both sides. While highly playable and approachable for new players, the games also reward careful planning and study for those seeking deeper historical authenticity.

What’s Included

Sid Meier’s Gettysburg! — The core title that recreates the sprawling, iconic battle around Gettysburg, offering multiple scenarios and a campaign structure that lets you fight individual engagements or larger linked actions.

Sid Meier’s Antietam! — Focused on the fierce fighting at Antietam (Sharpsburg), this title offers intense, smaller-scale clashes with an emphasis on maneuver, defensive stands, and exploitation of terrain.

South Mountain campaign — A bonus campaign adding two new maps and eight scenarios that expand the playable content and allow exploration of alternate timelines and focused tactical problems from the Maryland Campaign.

South Mountain Campaign — Expanded Details

The included South Mountain campaign provides fresh content that complements the Gettysburg and Antietam battles. The two new maps are designed to capture the constraining terrain and key choke points that made the real South Mountain actions so consequential. The eight scenarios range from short, focused confrontations to extended fights that test sustained command and coordination.

Map variety: One map emphasizes narrow mountain gaps and ridge lines, rewarding defensive use of elevation and limited avenues of approach. The other map opens into rolling countryside with intersecting roads, enabling maneuver and rear-guard actions.

Scenario types: Scenarios include forced marches and late-arrival reinforcements, holding actions to buy time for the army, probing attacks, and “what if” variants that let players explore alternate deployments or command decisions.

Replayability: Variable victory conditions and reinforcements produce distinct outcomes each playthrough, encouraging experimentation with aggressive and cautious doctrines.

Sid Meier’s Civil War Collection is a compact but rich package that combines historically themed scenarios with tactical depth and replayability. Between the core Gettysburg and Antietam experiences and the new South Mountain campaign—two additional maps and eight scenarios—players gain hours of varied play, opportunities to test historical decisions, and a platform for creative scenario design. Whether you prefer tight defensive contests, maneuver-centric engagements, or recreating famous moments of the War Between the States, this collection delivers focused Civil War tactical strategy with room for both historical study and imaginative play.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:

This item 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 auction 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then 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 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.
