How it feels

A methodical, tense hex-based wargame that simulates 1860s combat with granular detail and a randomized turn system.

What players say

Players praise the chit-pull system and gorgeous hand-drawn map, but many report game-breaking freezes, a weak AI, and glitchy campaigns. Development has stopped, leaving the game unfinished. Disagreement exists between those who enjoy the light wargame and those who find it too simplistic or unrealistic.
