A pretty good Civil War game that takes inspiration from Sid Meiers Gettysburg and the Total War series battles and adds in a campaign - which is more of a series of linked battles with your own army management thrown in than a full chance to refight the civil war. Thoroughly enjoyable though and the J&P Rebalance mod is a great addition to the game too. My Review: https://youtu.be/EbMHKGuoD3E

Look... Are there better RTS games out there? Sure. Sure there are. But, for some reason, this one keeps calling me back. I suppose I like it in spite of the linear storytelling. It is generally historical, to the extent that a video game can be, which doesn't really lend toward a non-linear experience. I don't know. There's something here that is very good. I suppose the recommendation I have is as follows: 1. If you like real time strategy, this one is pretty good. 8/10 2. If you like historical content, this one is pretty good. 7/10 3. If you like fielding rather massive armies against an opposing rather massive army, this one is pretty good. 9/10 4. If you like rotating the camera to get different/better views of the battlefield, this one is really, very bad. 0/10 5. If you like having variety in your army composition, this one is better than most. 9/10 Basically, this is the best Civil War strategy video game I have played. For transparencies sake, I have played only 2 Civil War strategy video games, and I've enjoyed them both, but this one is better. Thank you.

First, I am a big Civil War guy. I love to read about the time period and events on and off the battlefield. If you share this interest, you, like I, are probably aware of how few games tackle this period and that none of them have ever been great. I would rank UGCW as the best I have played, but it is still a relatively limited game with some unfortunate mechanical flaws. There is no grand strategy, you raise/tweak your army before each battle and then have it out. Your performance in battle makes minimal difference on subsequent battles. Winning the Peninsula Campaign doesnt end the war in 1862 or even change where the next battle happens. You dont need to big brain any battles to be successful, but a basic understanding of the mechanics doesnt hurt. In general you just want to outflank the enemy and rout their units so you attain concentrated fire. Topography does play a role but concentration of fire and getting your artillery in close will nearly always win out. What the game excels at is allowing you to control your units very easily, letting you use units commanded by your favorite generals to lick some rebel/northern scum, and letting you play out all the big battles. Union and Confederate campaigns are 90% the same battles. The game also has some bsic rpg elements for army composition, letting you lel up and select upgrades for your units and comanders. Overall, 78/100 but scratches the Civil War game itch better than anything else. If you area Civil War buff, highly reccommend. If you like strategy games, I think its a fun and polished game but it wont take you down the rabbit hole if you like that complexity.

Great game, especially if you have civil war history autism, and still a good game even if you don't. Just beware that the campaign isn't a free-form total war style campaign that gives you freedom of movement across a campaign map but instead a fixed chronological set of battles.
