It focuses on just one battle, but does it well, giving you managable chunks to deal with in managable time frames, and lets you take a good amout of control within the historical restraints of the battle. What could the Confederates have done to win? What if the Union had been more aggressive? What if Reynold's First Corps never had to fall back? What if Longsteet took Little Round Top? What if Early pressed his attack on Cemetary Hill in time? What if Meade ordered an all-out counter attack on the third day? What if Pickett's Charge had broken the line?

The battle plays out depending on what you do, and you can very well play out an alternate history leading to signficant changes.
