What players say

Players praise the straightforward turn-based combat but report that sound effects do not play, an issue persisting since release. Many say the game is almost identical to Civil War: 1861, and some find missions unbalanced or impossible to complete, especially on the Confederate campaign. The AI is described as basic, and scenarios last about 10 minutes each.
