About Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run

Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run is a tactical turn based strategy game where you will command either the Union or Confederate armies during the first year of the American Civil War in 1861.

You will storm the mountain passes of West Virginia, make amphibious assaults along the Potomac River and fight pitched battles across a 19th century North America. Easy to play and difficult to master, Pixel Soldiers is a game for wargamers and casual gamers alike.

This game is set almost 50 years in the future from the previous Pixel Soldiers game (Pixel Soldiers: Waterloo).

STRATEGY AND TACTICS:
Use the terrain to your advantage: Keep vulnerable units behind ridges or hide them in the trees. Protect vital mountain passes and river crossings.

Use your artillery for long range fire support or risk placing them near the enemy to use murderous canister shot. Pixel Soldiers Bull Run now has rifled and smoothbore cannon.

Place your cavalry on the flanks or keep them in reserve for a devastating counter attack.

Use your various Infantry units well. Skirmishers are good at delaying and disrupting enemy attacks or guarding the flanks. Use riflemen to give accurate fire support, whereas those armed with smoothbore muskets are best suited for close range gritty fighting.

Will you push your troops forward and seize the initiative? Or will you set up a defensive line, await reinforcements and let the enemy come to you?

These and many more questions you will need to ask yourself. There are many ways to win the game.

This game, like all the others, did not disappoint! I love how easy it is to use despite being extremely in depth. I would love to see more games with different histories, like anything from ancient warfare with spears and archers to modern warfare. Keep up the great work!

Love it, more maps for sandbox mode is all I ask, I've been playing the game for a while and the same old maps are kinda jaring.
