I've played a large number of the civil war games over the years and this is the only one that did the war justice and is also available for purchase. Its a strategic and not a tactical game. Its well made and well thought out plus the add ons are nice too. The only civil war game that I've seen that was better than this was SSI's Turning Point (the Battle of Gettysburg). It was excellent so of course it is out of print. It would be nice if they would update and reissue it. Until then, this is the only decent civil war game on the market.

Had this game for YEARS. But its still probably the best civil war game that takes in all the theatres into aspect. If you are into action gaming stay away. But any strategist will find this game to have endless possibilities and play time. You raise your own units, organize them into divisions and armies, and give the generals orders on what to do, just like the president would. No you dont do or see any fighting, so you have to relay entirely on the skills and loyalties of your commanders and the command links you create. A+

It may not have today's graphics but it is still one of the best civil war strategy games ever made. You can control whole armies or just brigades. Choose the general from the low ball Pillow to the Great Stonewall Jackson! Play the North or the South. If the South get's enough victories the Europian countries will join on the South's side. This even has navel battles. If you are looking for a great Strategy game this is it! If you are looking more for graphics Civil Generals might be up your line but this game is still one of the tops! 5 Stars!
