Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a Tactical Battle Simulator that has just been released for Linux. Not only does it look good, but the reviews are good too!
Certainly seems like a game for fans of authentic war simulators, as the map itself was modelled using satellite images:
QuoteUtilizing satellite images and historical maps, every major location, house, ridge and hill are depicted as accurately as possible within the game’s unique art style.
The screen-shots certainly do make it look damn good too.

But as (almost) always there is this lack of advertising for Linux people.
Yes, there is an announcement on their store page, but I don't see it anywhere else. ex: http://store.steampowered.com/browse/linux/
If a game has simultaneous Win/Linux release (ex: This War of Mine) that's fine. But if the game was already released for Win a while ago, tough chance.
If you go to Steam and narrow everything down to Linux and new releases you'll find Gettysburg on page 5.
Steam needs a page with "newly released for Linux" games regardless when they were released for other platforms.
(good thing we have this site and Steamdb)

What's with Linux and strategy games? I just wanna shoot things in high graphical fidelity :S: *whine whine*
edit: At least I'm good for platformers!

I definitely agree, visibility for the Linux version of an already released game is really bad, however I find that the discovery queue system helps a lot. I went through all suggestions, it didn't take long and it did help to find old games new on Linux that passed under my radar (not good for my wishlist that became huge!). Then of course there is GoL that helps highlighting good Linux games :)

Thank you.
I was a bit pessimistic to do that myself, since most likely it will get buried away very soon by the constant flood of crap (excuse my french) that appears there every day.
Although we can eventually shamelessly bump the thread from time to time?

If at least it can find the right ears...
Just need to express yourself on that discussion. Be it a "+1".
It'll bring it on top at every comments added.
Search for Linux Releases as a topic. You should find it in the Steam Universe group.
French... Great! I'm not the only one! :)
