this turn based strategy game is where i cut my teeth learning the art of battlefield strategy. The music was great and trying to get the high ground for your canons and troops to dig in was amazing. The reenactment scenes were always entertaining and trying to keep your troops moral up was always a struggle. It was one of my and still is one of my favorite turn based strategy games.

much like its sequel, this is a masterclass in a turn-based game - the way you buy weapons and build up your forces is great. Plus the sometimes humors tone where you can see stuff like moral being shown as a guy that runs away is just too much fun :P

I absolutely loved this game growing up! It actually spurred my interest in the civil war entirely! I can still remember playing the battle of chancelorsville.

This is one of the earliest games I remember playing. It was at some old friend of my Dad's house that I went to once or twice. Turn based hexagonal strategy game that reminds me a lot of Panzer General. For that reason alone is enough for me to get it outright. I remember hearing "The Bonnie Blue Flag" playing during the game and being catchy. I greatly enjoyed watching the short live action reenactment battle clips played during each attack. It was great!
This game was one of the first hex and counter gems that I stumble upon, what a classic! Very approachable but quite deep once I dig further in, and has great Sierra production quality. On top of that it is one of the few hex and counter Civil War games ever released, so it would be a solid entry in the GOG collection!
I’ve looked for this game for years wanting to relive it. Would be super cool to see it playable in current windows. I can still hear the music from this game in my head sometimes.
Those games also need your vote!
