What real reviews say
★★★★★ Best Game: CSA, Gettysburg Battle Edition, Hard AI, historical mode I love this game. I have played it since it was first released in 2017. Then it was a bloody head to head slug fest. Now the South can win by bold maneuvers. You have to play carefully and methodically. One error can cost you the game because the Union has a sledgehammer of quality infantry brigades
★ Only one side is ever allowed to win If you choose the confederate side and use tactics beating the union the game will stop allowing your cannos and shots to do any damage. It doesn’t matter if you have wiped out 60 percent of union and its generals you still lose. In my last game my score was 6040 no generals lost to the Unions 2600
★★★★ Decent for the price I’m somewhat surprised at the quality of the gameplay. One item definitely missing is a advance button to check through the units on the battlefield to ensure everything is being moved according to the player’s plan. Otherwise it only deserves a 4 star rating
