GMT has received some small amount of criticism about the white dots that appear on their map in their new Gettysburg Game. The game designer refers to them as the cottonwood groves and a ghost town. Although they do not effect play and do not detract from the look of the map, many gamers have criticized the flaw as another example of paying high prices for poor quality. Several gamers have suggested that the correct fix for this problem is to redo the maps. The cost of such a fix would be in excess of $15,000 for GMT. At that price, the ghost town on the map would represent the former offices of GMT, and the cottonwood grove would be where GMT hanged the printer. More Industry News
