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’.
Added a whole new way to play 'Historical mode'.
In Historical mode all the unit values and chances to hit enemy units are as historically accurate as possible.
As a result it may be much harder to destroy enemies resulting in missions being harder to complete.
