## What is Civil War?

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from 1st to 3rd July 1863, in Pennsylvania. The battle resulted the largest number of casualties in any battle of the entire war, and was the turning point of the American Civil War.

### 5/5 — Excellent Interpretation

*2026-08-20*

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.

### 1/5 — Only one side is ever allowed to win

*2025-12-29*

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

### 1/5 — Only one side is ever allowed to win

*2024-06-30*

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.

### 4/5 — Decent for the price

*2023-12-14*

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

### 1/5 — Only one side is ever allowed to win

*2023-01-16, version 3.0.3*

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.

### 1/5 — First Game of this Civil War series to earn a “ F”

*2021-08-17*

Unlike other games in this series, this game continually freezes.  Won’t allow a restart unless I reboot my iPad ( OS ver. 14.7.1).  Deleted and reinstalled from the App Store, still locks up.  Now it has just been deleted.

### 2/5 — Sandbox

*2021-01-26*

This game desperately needs a sandbox where you can place troops where ever and has unlimited rounds I would recommend if they added a sandbox.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2019-11-12*

Game now works perfectly on my IPhone. Please ignore previous review

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2019-08-23*

I’ve been a fan of Hunted Cow but this game has problems.  I played the whole battle and it worked fine but the one day battles stop allowing attacks after several rounds.  Don’t waste your time and money till this is fixed.  Shame.  Their other civil war products are much better.

### 3/5 — No pass and play option

*2019-04-02*

Great game love the American civil war and love your games but you mean to tell me that you charged me 5 bucks for a game that doesn’t have pass and play by the way you would get a lot more buyers if you add pass and play
