Killer Angels is a detailed simulation of Lee's campaign in Pennsylvania in 1863. Seven scenarios deal with sections of the campaign which led to Gettysburg and the subsequent Confederate retreat to Virginia.

Killer Angel's system concentrates on the problems of command control and leadership in the Union and Confederate armies, and on the political constraints within which the commanders of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and the Union Army of the Potomac were forced to operate.
