50-75% off Ultimate General: Gettysburg, Panzer General, Pacific General, Fantasy General… and Rollercoaster Tycoon

Generally speaking, it's good to be General. The pay might not be great (in this case you'll actually kind of have to pay to do it) but the perks, the perks are many. You get a cool hat, and you get to determine the outcome of mankind's greatest wars. How's that for a strong resume? Our weekly staff picks this week is , and all-around awesome - with five fantastic strategy titles... and [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_promo_280915]Roller Coaster Tycoon up to 75% off.

Panzer General 2 & 3D are classics. No doubt about that. They sit among the greatest and most memorable strategy titles of all time. It's the grand stage and turn-based, hex-based combat that combine into the true treason for the series' success, the perfect strike: depth and accessibility.
Pacific General is a grand strategy as well, a spiritual sequel to the classic Panzer General series. In it, you'll return to the overhead battlefields of World War II in full-blown historical missions, and what-if scenarios. And if you're a fan of large-scale-hex-based battlefields - that same kind of game and feel also found a surprisingly comfy place in the unique steampunk-infused fantasy setting of Fantasy General.
For a different kind of historical aura, Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a beautiful looking, tactically detailed and deceptively simple title. If you're even remotely interested in war and world history, it's hard not to recommend this authentic strategy.
Finally, when you tire of waging war and its many pressures, take a break with Rollercoaster Tycoon - design your own FUNderland, pick your business strategy, and relax to the beautiful sound of children's laughter, and their desperate corkscrew screams.

Generally... it's five strategy titles ( and Roller Coaster Tycoon) at 50-75% off! The weekly staff picks promo will last until Thursday, October 1, 9:59 AM GMT.

budejovice: You can probably just install and start playing (basically what I did). One thing to note in this scenario, however, is that morale is a thing. If you repeatedly charge the same unit into withering fire and they keep turning around and running, eventually that unit will leave the battlefield permanently. :)

tinyE: I snagged it, but I'm too damn tired to play it right now. :P

Now I just need to remember the last time I was at Gettysburg and walked along all of those battle sites.
Nice. I was there in 2009. Way too much... stuff... for my taste, but pretty amazing nonetheless. I greatly preferred seeing Antietam and Shiloh.

Please elaborate on the "stuff". Im wanting to check Gettysburg out, but im also several hours away. Would Antietam be a better road trip?

Don't get me wrong - it is really worth a visit. The entire area is very busy with monuments of any and every type and it's in a city so there is a lot of commerce. Shiloh and Antietam were just less developed areas with a more contemplative surrounding. To me. By all means don't skip Gettysburg, though. :) There's probably a lot more to see and do than some other US Civil War sites.
