A slow, detailed simulation where careful planning and historical accuracy create a methodical and cerebral experience.

What players say

Players are split on this hex-based Civil War wargame. Some find it a decent value with plenty of scenarios, while others say it feels underdeveloped with unexplained combat, a broken tutorial, and missing key battles like Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. Technical issues, like failing to launch after updates, are also reported.
