About this game

CIVILWAR BATTLE SET Version 2.4 is an EGA tactical level war game based on battles from the American Civil War. It represents over four years of research, programming, and play testing. It is an evolution of the prize-winning ASCII game which has earned accolades from wargamers around the world. The game is easy to play, yet difficult to master, and provides an almost endless set of variations and challenges.

“Winning” the battles depends on relative casualties, number of units eliminated, and controlling a key location on the battlefield (the ‘objective’). There are several types of units and varying terrain situations, all of which affect the battle outcome. With this game, you can create, customize, and reconstruct Civil War battles. As much as possible, the game allows you freedom to not only play the scenarios, but also adjust the armies, and even modify most of the important aspects of the game itself.
