Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles 1846-1905 + Campaigns

I've been on a bit of a Victorian Era wargaming binge lately, and thought it was finally time to give this game a go after reading a couple of reviews. I was not disappointed. This is hands down one of the best strategy games for MS-Dos I've played in quite a while. The graphics hold up relatively well, the game plays fairly smoothly and is fairly easy to understand, and it covers such a massive time period and multiple wars, including the American Civil War, Franco-Prussian War, British colonial wars, etc., plus it has campaigns, scenarios, a fun hot-seat multiplayer function, etc. My only real critique is that the sound design isn't the greatest (audio is a bit crunchy), but whether that's the game's fault or because it's running in Dosbox is hard to tell. Overall an excellent strategy game. Just make sure to play the tutorial mission, and maybe cruise through the included manual for some details.

A bit aged but a solid game that covers a wild amount of content. Great purchase and a great time

Got this on a whim when i saw it was on sale for very reasonable, downloaded it and couldnt believe that this very fun musket era game was made in the 90s the details of how to make units to the battles in the game are all well made i wish they could make an update to this awesome game.
