About this game

Civil War II is a historical operational grand strategy game with a simultaneous turn-based engine that places players at the head of the USA or CSA during the American Civil War. It is a turn based regional game with an emphasis on playability and historical accuracy. Each turn lasts 2 weeks and you must issue your orders in advance, planning on where the enemy will be, not where they are now. Orders are executed simultaneously in 14 phases - 1 per day. Battles are resolved on the day they occur so scheduling the arrival of your forces and planning the logistics or your army are key to success.

You take the part of the military and political leadership, trying to lead your nation to victory, in the midst of some of the toughest operations of the Civil War. You will build, organize and command your armies over one of the largest maps of the USA ever made for a Civil War game. There are a host of real military leaders to appoint with their own strengths and weaknesses and choosing the right man for the job is crucial. However you are not just a military leader and must make vital economics and political decisions. These can have far reaching effects and you can even influence foreign intervention from the French & British who were constantly intervening in America for power and prestige.
