American Civil War: From Sumter to Appomattox

The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history—brother against brother, North against South. As the war continues to be recreated on computers around the world, one game that stands out among the rest in the genre is Interactive Magic's American Civil War. It pulls you out of the trenches and puts you in the chair of the Commander-in-Chief. If you prefer the “big picture” approach to military simulations, American Civil War is hard to beat.

This game is fun to play. It is, however, NOT an action war simulation. It is a cerebral type of game, sort of like chess or Monopoly, and requires some thinking to successfully win the game. It will take some time to win or loose this game, but it can be time well spent, both from an educational as well as a leisurely point of view.

Bürgerkriegsfreunde sind bei Sierras Civil War General oder Empires Battleground-Reihe um Klassen besser aufgehoben. Lediglich Sammler skurriler Ausnahmeflops sollten zuschlagen, wenn diese Niete als Budget zu haben sein wird. Und das steht erheblich schneller zu erwarten, als dem Hersteller lieb sein dürfte.
