What's New in Civil War

6.1.0

August 19, 2026

Generals caught on their own now ride for safety when the enemy closes in. Units can change formation while an unattached general or artillery battery shares their hex, artillery batteries join infantry correctly, and reinforcement generals retain their leadership abilities. Movement and attack highlights and mission briefing scrollbar layout are fixed. Includes stability and memory improvements.

Excellent Interpretation

Always difficult to reconstruct a historical battle but this game does it well. AI could be more advanced and aggressive but the game play is really fun. I love it but can only play occasionally as i always win regardless which side im playing and whatever battle plan i use.

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 with 2 generals lost and both targets captured before turn 9 but the still Union won. DEMS must be running the site lol

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 men to move or attack the union. It doesn’t matter if you have wiped out almost all of the union and it’s generals you still lose, Game must be controlled by democrats, lol.

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

Only one side is ever allowed to win

If you choose the confederate side and are beating the union the game will stop allowing your men to move or attack the union. And if you start wiping out the union the game will be stopped and union will be declared to have defeated you. Great idea for a game if it was fair, doesn’t matter if wiped out almost all of the union and it’s generals you still lose, lol.
