Decisive Battles of the American Civil War, Vol. 1 lets you take the place of commanding generals in six battles of the American Civil War: first Bull Run, Shiloh, second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. In that role, players not only issue orders but take actions such as sleeping and determining their level of personal participation in the battle. The result is a fast-paced simulation (one hour per turn) of important moments in Civil War history. Victory is determined by a tally of casualties and controlled objectives. Two players may face-off in hot-seat mode, or a single player may face the computer or just observe the computer controlling both sides.
Original game developed by Strategic Studies Group for Commodore 64, published in 1988 by Strategic Studies Group
