hell yes! i would love to see this game on gog as i have so many hours playing this back in the day! currently you have to do alot of stuff just to make it run on modern systems which is a hassle. I really hope you would support getting this on the platform
I loved this game as a kid—still the best Civil War game ever. Compared to other games in the genre, this one was the most comprehensive, most historically authentic, and had RPG elements that were ahead of its time.

Had his game on day one of its release. Loved it very much. Great strategy game on the Civil War. Of course I always got beat by Lee or Sherman depending on who I was playing. It would be great to see this title and its prequel title brought to GOG.
Awesome strategy game, still have the disk. Unfortunately doesn't work on windows 11. Would buy it immediately. Great historical accuracy and you actually learn a lot while playing. Great gameplay with turn based combat and a challenging (but not cheating) AI.
Strategy games do not get much better than this game! The historical accuracy alone is very impressive. The things I learned about the weapons, people, and locations during the Civil War due to this game cannot be overstated.

We had a group of online players who would meet at battlefields in the north and south. Everywhere from Vicksburg to Gettysburg and points in between. The group and events ended when the game was no longer available for online play. I'm sure many would return if the game was online. A real general plays much better than AI.

Loved this game. Every single battle mechanic has been included here on what is for modern standards a tiny game. The battles unfold in a very realistic, dynamic manner, there are tiny little details that make it possible for battles to twist one way or another, just as IRL - the clever mechanic where a hotly contested area becomes an area which brings victory points means that the usual anarchy found in most other war simulations is avoided - that is , if you play multiplayer, cause 30 years old AI just doesn't know what it is doing. Replay value is infinite, multiplayer over email option that these games had means it could as well be revived, and there is also the custom map builder. I think this game was easily moddable back in the day too, I remember there used to be a Napoleonic mod. All this fun in under 200mb package.
I spent so much time on this game growing up, I would love to be able to have access to this game again. I loved playing around in the map editor so much and making custom maps and units.
A sequel to a true classic, taking it into deeper waters with deeper gameplay and larger battles. I had such a blast losing myself in the series back in the day, and both shimmer with the Sierra production quality, highly memorable experiences and one of the few Civil War strategy games out there of outstanding quality. Bring 'em into the great GOG collection1

Valkyria Chronicles 2
Valkyria Chronicles 2Valkyria Chronicles 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3, which was released exclusively on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. The game takes place two years after the conclusion of the original game and takes you back to the epic adventure set in 1930’s fictitious Europe. In this sequel, you play as a group of young Gallian Military Academy cadets who find themselves plunged into a bitter civil war when the newly formed Gallian Revolutionary Army stages a coup. As the drama and battle unfold, you will experience stories of friendship, love and growing pains during a time of war and revolution. The 'CANVAS' engine originally developed by SEGA Game Studios Japan for Valkyria Chronicles has been fully redesigned for the PSP system. This incredibly distinctive engine will power over 20 new distinct and visually stunning environments where you will have over 200 different missions to explore. For the first time ad-hoc Versus and Co-op multiplayer gameplay will now be available. The 'BLiTZ' battle system has also been re-designed to offer players the freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls, something never before seen in the tactical role-playing game genre. This game adds some new unit classes and the ability to upgrade or change classes. It also changes the battle system to include multiple map areas that are unlocked as you take over enemy bases revealing more of the battlefield and allowing you to call units into that area.

Valkyria Chronicles
Valkyria ChroniclesSet in a fictitious continent reminiscent of the 1930s, Valkyria Chronicles depicts Europe divided in two and ruled by two super powers: the Empire and the Federation. The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called Gallia, situated in the middle of the two superpowers territories, in an attempt to secure invaluable natural resources. Within this struggle a hero named Welkin, and his fellow soldiers of the Federation's 7th Platoon, are fighting back against the invasion and the Empires attempts to unify the continent under its power. During the ensuing war the Federation discovers that the Empire possesses a secret weapon, known as the "Valkyria" - an ancient race with special powers thought to exist only in legends. With this new discovery the fate of the Federation's ability to turn the tide of the war, and the hope for a better future, hang in the balance. “CANVAS” graphics engine: A unique engine that produces breath taking images that look like watercolour paintings in motion. “BLiTZ” tactical battle system: Experience strategic manoeuvring of units combined with conventional RPG gameplay, all layered on top of the moment to moment action afforded by real-time controls as players command each squad member and tank in battle. Epic storyline: Players will immerse themselves in the epic struggle for freedom, as the fate of the world lies in the hands of Welkin and the members of the 7th platoon. Customisation: Over 100 customisable characters allow players to create a variety of platoons to suit each battle’s needs. Beautifully rendered battlefields: Players explore 30 different environments, using unique terrain features to gain advantages in battle.

Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition
Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra EditionSenjou no Valkyria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles, usually referred to as Valkyria Chronicles III, is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation Portable. It is the third game in the Valkyria Chronicles series and was released on January 27, 2011 exclusively in Japan. An expanded version of the game, subtitled Extra Edition was released in Japan on November 23, 2011. The game features an opening song もしも君が願うのなら (Moshimo Kimi ga Negauno Nara?) sung by Japanese singer May'n. Occurring in the same time frame as the first game, Valkyria Chronicles III is a side story that follows the exploits of an unwanted and castigated Gallian Army squad during the Imperial invasion of 1935.[3] Contrasting the previous games' bright outlook and recognition for their protagonists, Valkyria Chronicles III explores the themes of being outcast and the search for redemption. As described by its catchphrase, the game tells "The tale of nameless soldiers who, on the verge of despair, changed history." The game was the first in the series to not officially be translated into English by Sega. However, an unofficial fan translation for the Extra Edition was eventually released in December 2013.
