Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas une version française.

Nice fun

Enjoyable and fun to play from both ends.

Fun little wargame.

Nothing particularly extraordinary here. Your basic 20th century hex-based tactical US civil war game with an adequate AI for what is required of it. Kinda flavorless, in terms of sound effects, special rules and music, and it could have used a good UI pass. But still enjoyable. It's fun to charge the enemy's guns and to drive his army before you. I consider my 2 bucks well spent. If you like the free version, buy it.

Not bad - could be better if...

1. In campaign mode, you could progress to the next battle even if you lose the current one. It would be cool to see more realistic campaign results based on battles won AND lost. Having to win every battle is pretty artificial.

2. Movement is unnecessarily cumbersome, as units cannot move through each other. This gums up the battlefield as well as game play, and is not particularly realistic.

3. Would love to see a strategic map for a campaign overview.

Game won't move on

I enjoy the game but for some reason it is stuck on "shot and shell" level 5 (collection). I have completed all the objectives several times but it will not let me move on. It says hold the control point till turn 11 and destroy enemy wagon which I have done but that is it. I have hit the refresh button till turn 50 and still it won't let me win or continue to next level.

Unreliable game saving

I was enjoying this game until I got past half way through the first campaign, then for no apparent reason all my progress was lost, leaving me to start all over again, which I don't feel inclined to do.

Very good game!

I play these type of games all the time. I like the strategy of defending your position and knowing when and way to attack. I'm very interested in the civil war. Learning about the battles and their outcome.

God Bless 'Hex War' Games !!!

I own ALL 24 games (+ Add-ons) 'HexWar' is a MUST HAVE series, for history buffs & war nutz alike...

The Civil War series starts off slow, but improves greatly w/ each release. "Gettysburg" is the best of the series ...BY FAR!!!

P.S. Worth every $, but the add-on missions could cost half that...

Rebel Yell

Great game.I'm a big fan of 'battle' games.Long drawn out campaigns (Total War) are not for me.Simple,fun combat action.

Immersive little war game

Simple yet brilliant. Men and arms, movement, zones of control and battle odds. Infantry, cannons, cavalry in coordination amid terrain advantages and disadvantages. Tricky AI at higher levels and lots of battle scenarios. Good graphics. Good map views. Ok SFX. Charge!!! Highly recommend.
