This release day update is for all previous owners of Scourge of War: Gettysburg (and expansions) to bring their version up to date with the new Matrix/Slitherine release (on Sept. 20, 2012).
This new version includes a multitude of improvements and fixes, such as the new replay system, enhanced water detail, and more. The update also removes the existing DRM, with players no longer needing an active internet connection to activate the game. The update is comprehensive and will bring all versions of Scourge of War: Gettysburg and its expansions to version 1.50.
Scourge of War: Gettysburg and its expansions are also getting outstanding support from Matrix Games and Slitherine in the form of a new routing server to make multiplayer a seamless experience.
