About the Game

Large multi-map, operational-level game covering the entire American Civil War that is easy to play. Division and Brigade-level. Naval units and Confederate trade aspects. Political rules. Weekly turns. Production and historical reinforcements.

Focuses heavily on hidden units, recon and fog-of-war. Several card decks that add random events and historical flavor without driving the game.

Several scenarios: 1861, 1862 and 1863. Plus two smaller single map intro Campaign scenarios serve as a way to learn the game system.
