About Civil War: 1861

Civil War: 1861 covers the opening battles of the American Civil War. The game covers both the small and large actions of that momentous year, starting with the battle at 'Big Bethel', on to the comparatively vast engagements at 'Bull Run' and 'Wilson's Creek'.

In 1861 both sides have plenty of volunteer recruits who, though enthusiastic, lack battlefield experience. On the weaponry side much of the equipment still belongs to the Napoleonic Era with a plethora of muzzle loading, smoothbore artillery.

Many of the commanders, who most would identify as the leaders the civil war armies, are still junior officers in the engagements recreated in this game. Command the Union or Confederate forces in these key battles.

Can you change history? Good luck and on to battle!

A must have for Civil War buffs! Just 1 question. Playing as the Union on Campaign 1 Opening Shots Mission 1 Boonville, I just cannot move into the Victory Hex even after it is empty so I always lose. Is there any reason why infantry cannot move into a Victory Hex even though it is empty and well within their mo...

This version really reminds me of the old Civil War Generals 2 from Sierra back in 1996
