The U.S. Civil War (3rd Edition, 2nd Printing)

Manufacturer: GMT Games

The U.S. Civil War is a 2-player strategic-level war game of the American Civil War. The game covers the entire war from 1861-65 on a large 30" x 44" map area (2 mounted maps) of the Southeastern United States. Turns represent 3 months during the winter and 2 months during the summer, with four Action Phases to each turn.

Military forces are represented by generals and strength-points (SPs). Each SP represents approximately 5,000 soldiers. Game mechanics stress strategy, maneuver and leadership but details like ironclads, naval battles, leader promotions, forts, and commerce raiders are included.

Shorter scenarios are included that cover just 1861, 1862, and 1863.

Note on 2nd Printing: This edition will be identical to the 1st Printing except that it will include the 2nd edition rules and charts and that any known errata will be corrected.
