"The time is spring, 1861. The place is America, poised on the edge of Civil War between the new Confederate States and supporters of the Union.
Grand Army of the Republic is a two to four-player simulation of this four-year conflict. As either the North or South player, you are given an economic base to build land and naval forces and commit them to battle. Use of special abilities, general cards and battle cards will influence the outcome.
The map covers the United States from the Indian Territory to the Atlantic, and from Pennsylvania to the Gulf of Mexico. The armies you build, strengthened by corps and generals, range across these wide spaces by executing area movement. Navies, including ironclads and blockade runners, increase your strategic choices.
Victory will depend on the pace of battle and vital supplies. The North must deal with a battle track winding ever downward in her effort to conquer the Confederacy. A full campaign game and two shorter scenarios let you select the period of the War.
Grand Army of the Republic provides hours of fun and insight into America's bloodiest conflict, the War Between the States. Discover the War as it was or could have been."
