Gameplay
Battleground 9: Chickamauga is a computer wargame that simulates military conflict during the American Civil War. It focuses on the Battle of Chickamauga and the Battle of Stones River.[1]
Development
Battleground 9: Chickamauga was developed and published by TalonSoft, as the ninth entry in the company's Battleground series. Its predecessor Battleground 8: Prelude to Waterloo had been intended as the final game in the franchise,[2] but TalonSoft reported that Chickamauga was greenlit in response to fan demand.[2][3] It was announced in June 1998 for a fall 1998 release.[4] TalonSoft developed Chickamauga with an upgraded 32-bit version of the series' game engine.[1][5] It is the fifth Battleground title to cover the American Civil War.[1] The game reached gold status in December 1998.[6]
TalonSoft announced that only 5,000 copies of Chickamauga would be printed.[4][6] The company opted not to give the game a brick-and-mortar release, but rather to sell it directly via mail order. At the time, CNET GamecenterШаблон:'s Mark Asher called this an "unusual move" that he hoped would succeed, as a way to allow "more niche titles [to be] developed".[6]
Reception
Battleground 9: Chickamauga was nominated for the 1998 Charles S. Roberts Award for "Best Pre-Twentieth Century Computer Wargame", which ultimately went to The Great Battles Collector's Edition.[7]
Tom Chick of Computer Games Strategy Plus offered Chickamauga a positive review, calling it "a solid send-off to one of the most polished and reliable hybrids of computer and board wargaming."[3] In a positive review, PC GamesШаблон:' Dan Morris opined that "TalonSoft can keep pumping these out forever—they'll get no complaints from wargamers."[2] Writing for CNET Gamecenter, Marc Dultz was similarly positive, citing its "incredible attention to detail and quality workmanship".[1]
