Strategic Command: American Civil War

Not worthy of the franchise

So many things wrong with this game. Water walking units with no impact on movement in the 19th century. Completely unbalanced gameplay with the AI. Rules that only apply to player controlled units, not AI units. Huge expansive map that barely gets used and no additional level of zoom in so that it becomes difficult see units and their status, especially when weather is affecting the zone. An ongoing problem with the franchise with the insistence on pretending to create a game where you can make choices, but then ramming through history completely unchanged by your choices. Just make a game of battles then, stop trying to sell a game that acts like your choices matter. Finally a personal, minor pet peeve of mine with this game was the insistence on only allowing "figure" icons and not having an option for simple icons for brigade, division, corps, etc. like in their other games.
