Stryker412 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I not only want to play the game myself but would really like to use this game to showcase tactics and battles for our 6th grade students. Can I jump to certain battles? I specifically want to show them Pickett's Charge and Little Round Top. I was going to use Sid Meier's Gettysburg but that is way too dated anymore. Also, how does the game play on an iPad 3? Leaning more towards the Steam version but might have trouble showing that off at school with no computer really having a decent graphics card.
Losenis Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 The game has a 'custom battles' section where you can choose any and all possible battles, historical or fictional (since through gameplay it obviously deviates by player action). Pickett's charge is included.
Husserl Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 As Losenis noted, select Custom Battles in main menu. The historical Devil's Den battle is located in 2nd Days Afternoon battles and Picket's charge in those of 3rd Day.
Stryker412 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Thank you for the replies. Any thoughts on the iPad version running on an iPad 3?
Husserl Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 iOS UGG is for iPad 2 and up models, so you won't have any problems with the iPad 3. The Custom Battles scenarios are available only in PC version. By the way, PC version does not require "exotic" specs and most likely it will run in your school's PC. If you use, however, the iPad then you need to have unlocked all the 10 battle-scenarios (in iOS version, Devil's Den and Picket's charge is the 6th and 10th scenario respectively).
Stryker412 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Good to know, thank you! I wonder if I can run it off a Surface Pro 3... Edited April 9, 2015 by Stryker412
Husserl Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Surface Pro 3 has the right specs for handling the PC version and most likely will run it, however, we have not tested that device and cannot gurantee it will.
Stryker412 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Just wanted to let you know that it runs well on the Surface Pro 3. I just received a Surface 3 (non-pro) that has a different CPU chipset. I'll try it on there as well and report back. This was playing via Steam. One cool thing is that if you play on the Surface, you get the functions of the PC game but the touch capabilities of the iPad version. Edited April 14, 2015 by Stryker412
