About:
For the first time in the series’ history, Strategic Command will be taking you to the 19th century
battlefields of the American Civil War. In this turn-based strategy game, you will control the armies,
research, production and diplomatic policy of either the Union or the Confederacy during a time of
great innovation and dramatic battles. Your decisions will determine whether the United States
leaves this conflict as one nation or two.
What are your orders, Mr President?
A BRAND NEW BATTLEFIELD:
Strategic Command: American Civil War comes with a massive 66,000 hex map, covering all of
North America from Canada and New Mexico to the Caribbean at a 15km/9mi scale. This is the
largest hex-based map ever offered by the Strategic Command series!
COMMAND YOUR ARMIES:
With few professional soldiers ready to fight at the beginning of 1861, building an army will be
just as important as ordering your men into battle. Thousands of volunteers are enlisting, and
you will need to organise them into Brigades, Divisions and eventually Corps. Research will have
to be undertaken to improve their weaponry and fighting skills.
Once their training is complete, you will be able to choose from a variety of famous Generals to
lead them, including Lee, Jackson, Grant, McClellan, Beauregard and Sherman. With the fate of
entire armies hinging on single battles, the appointment of talented Generals may well be the
difference between victory and defeat.
RIVER WARFARE:
The great rivers of North America, including the Mississippi, Ohio and Cumberland, can now be
navigated by all-new river warships, with inland ports offering the opportunity for rapid movement,
and their waters bringing the danger of amphibious attack.
THE AGE OF THE IRONCLAD:
The war on the high seas has also been expanded, with ships now divided into rivercraft, coastal
and sea-going vessels, and wooden and ironclad construction. With the most diverse roster of
warships ever offered by a Strategic Command game, your admirals will have more opportunities
than ever before to achieve victory at sea.
RECONNAISSANCE REWORKED:
The fog of war has never been more important in shaping your success on the battlefield, as the
lack of radio communications means that cavalry will be essential to locating enemy armies and
avoiding ambush. Infantry scout detachments, partisan rangers and armoured trains can also be
trained to expand the recon capabilities of your armies, while Generals willing to use experimental
technology will have the opportunity to use observation balloons, taking the war to the skies.
EUROPEAN INTERVENTION:
Diplomatic action, battlefield success and decision events such as the sale of the Confederate
Cotton Stockpile or the Emancipation Proclamation will determine whether the European Great
Powers intervene in the Civil War. The UK, France and Spain can all be persuaded to support the
Confederate cause, and their entry could greatly alter the war’s outcome.
WAR IN MEXICO:
As the Civil War divides the United States, the French Emperor Napoleon III is engaged in another
battle for control of Mexico. The front lines in America’s southern neighbour will be constantly
changing, and if France should enter the war, players will be able to take up the flag of the
Republic or the Empire as the Civil War grows into a conflict to determine the fate of all of North America!
...AND MUCH MORE!
