1864 saw the Union army make substantial gains against the Confederate forces in the American Civil War. Grant, replacing Halleck, took the risky gamble of attacking the Confederates on three different fronts. While Grant failed to gain any significant tactical advantage in any battle against Robert E. Lee, he succeeded at depleting Lee's forces. On the Western front, Sherman was able to capture Atlanta and seize Savannah. The Union's control of the railways and waterways gave them an immense logistical advantage, which would become vital to the North's eventual success. The Confederacy was ultimately fighting and losing a defensive war.

Like game... but have won “clean sweep “ as Union 3 times in row, but record does not reflect results...and have waited over a week for response for help with this...but still no response after developers responded they would reply within 24 hours!
A very enjoyable game, you must understand the combined use of units in order to win battles. I am a history buff and this game offers an accurate depiction of typical civil war action based on available weapons and tactics available to the commanders and their troops.
Fun game- requires thought and strategy. Just enough animation to make it cool.
I have studied civil war history for 25 years and I have played a lot of civil war related games. I must say that these games bring back a lot of the enjoyment I experienced playing the older table top wargames, and that is just playing the free edition. I will have to check out the other ones as well and look into the other eras. Solid, with a realistic feel.
This game simplifies the standard war game to allow the student of history or warfare to understand strategy, without sacrificing enjoyable game play. And just as importantly, in this day of political correctness and anti-Southern rhetoric, the game designers understand the struggle of the common soldier in this war.
A very fun challenging game. I just hope later on in there updates they will put more levels
