{"product_id":"strategic-command-american-civil-war-pc-steam","title":"Strategic Command: American Civil War - PC (Steam)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat are your orders, Mr President?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eA BRAND NEW BATTLEFIELD\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrategic 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!\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eCOMMAND YOUR ARMIES\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce 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.\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eRIVER WARFARE\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eTHE AGE OF THE IRONCLAD\u003c\/h2\u003eThe 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.\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eRECONNAISSANCE REWORKED\u003c\/h2\u003eThe 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.\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eEUROPEAN INTERVENTION\u003c\/h2\u003eDiplomatic 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.\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eWAR IN MEXICO\u003c\/h2\u003eAs 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!\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003e...AND MUCH MORE!\u003c\/h2\u003eUsing an enhanced version of the engine used by our WWI and WWII games, American Civil War also incorporates all of the much-loved features from previous titles in the series, ensuring that a great gaming experience awaits series veterans and new recruits alike!\u003ch2 class=\"bb_tag\"\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 campaigns covering the Civil War from first shot to last:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul class=\"bb_ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1861 Blue and Gray\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1861 Manassas to Appomattox\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1862 Scott’s Great Snake\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1862 Trent War (Alternate History: What if the UK recognized the Confederacy?)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1863 Lee Rides North\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1864 Make Georgia Howl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew unit types, including Balloons, Rangers, Monitors, River Gunboats and many more!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew technologies, including Naval Engines, Ironclads, Skirmishers and the Field Telegraph.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiverine warfare is now possible, with waterways that can be navigated by 3 types of river vessel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOfficial mods have been included with the game, allowing players to choose between two brand new map styles and the \"classic\" style used in our previous games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game also comes with an Editor that will enable you to make your own campaigns or mods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoastal and inland fortress defences play a much greater role in Civil War strategy, guarding many key ports and waterways.
