Play against the computer in one of two modes (all opposing units visible or only in line of sight) or challenge a friend. (Unfortunately, network play isn't an option.) The play is simple and fairly quick, and the graphics and sounds are OK--if comparatively unimpressive. Importantly, the balance between realism and playability is good. Serious war gamers will probably want to go for something more intense, like Sid Meier's Gettysburg. But for a quick, easy-to-learn tactical simulation, Great American Battles of the Civil War will do just fine. --Rob Lightner

Customer Reviews of Great American Battles Of The Civil War
A Civil War Masterpiece This game is a Civil War classic that I would highly recommend. I have spent many enjoyable hours playing this game repeatedly as North or South against the Computer and against my friends. The Map is easily readable and the units are simplistic yet well organized and researched. This is not a game for those novices who play just for the cool sound effects and big explosions, this is a game for gentlemen who wish to actually be challenged. It requires critical thought and an ability to think ahead (almost like Chess). I highly recommend playing agianst friends who share your passion for real startegy games as they too will be able to appreciate the games finer points and offer a greater challenge than a normal AI could. I highly recommend this game!
A stupid game
this game is very dumb. I would want to get sid mieir's gettysburg. the game doesn't even show the guys move, it shows little guys just standing there.
A skimpy manual???
What manual? I ordered this for my husband, a huge Civil War buff, and thought he would love it. Unfortunately, there were no instructions. He can't figure out how to even play the game. We were very disappointed. I would not recommend this game to anyone.
