An essential strategy game
This is THE ultimate wargame. While it doesn't have a strategic overworld, it consists of a historical sequence of large named battles of dozens of thousands troops, plus small unnamed battles in between. The troop formations realistically cover most of the battlefield, giving little space to maneur, but maneuring is essential for the win. Sometimes you have to send your wings into the long raids to attack enemy from behind after 30 IRL minutes. You have 4 types of troops to choose: line infantry, skirmishers, cavalry and artillery. You can give whatever weapons you can get to your troops: from muskets to carbines, impacting on their shooting speed and distance, bayonet melee ability. The battles are staged to reflect every historical detail, like the exact time of reinforcements arrival or enemy counterattack. The game is very educational, too; I am a European who only knew that North and South fought for their opinion on slaves question; now I studied tons of articles and books on the American Civil War thanks to all the realistic historical details, troop and battle names, commanders, etc. This game is VERY user friendly, very convenient to control and view the battlefield; also gives you detailed statistics on losses/casualties/wounded/captured after battle. It plays and looks way better than Take Command or Scourge of War. Also if you played UG: Gettysburgh before, that game was rather a demo of ONE OF OVER 20 historical battles in this game. I greatly recommend this game to every fan of history and/or really strong strategy games. 10/10 in its genre. I hope my review was helpful, and sorry for my English.
