    A truly unique and innovative game which breathes new life into the wargaming and real-time genres and provides one of the best multi-player experiences ever devised in computer gaming. What's more, it is enormously fun and challenging to play.

    A groundbreaking historical strategy game, but not because of innovation, rather because of execution...The random scenarios, the multiplayer combinations of 1 to 7 players on each side, and the top-notch AI make this a historical game that has great re-playability.

    This game is about as solid as the Union line on Cemetery Ridge. It has all the right ingredients to please Civil War buffs, hard-core strategy fans, and maybe even some casual gamers adventurous enough to try something new.

    A cross-over wargame that has depth, beauty, smarts, and replayability. [Jan 1998, p.218]

    This game came out in 1997 and is like 8-bit graphics. Turn based I played it on a network I threw together as I worked and studied at Manassas as a Ranger. It is too old to be with these other games.... Waiting to play Bull Run.… Expand
