Hi guys,

OUT OF EIGHT:

7/8 AGEod’s American Civil War is a very good strategy game and another feather in the cap for its developers, James Allen

THE WARGAMER:

"(...) a serious contender, in my opinion, for Strategy Game of the Year. And it may also be the best Grand Strategic simulation of the Civil War ever devised. It combines a blessedly intuitive – yet actually rather complex – interface, marvelous depth-of-play, a compelling sense of epic drama, and a handsome, distinctive look that is also cunningly designed to add to the “period” atmosphere (...)". , Bill Trotter

Check out the review at Armchairgeneral.com. So close to what I would have written, I fear I've been cloned.[:)]

Very good job.

The review close to what I would have written if cloned (apart from the nonsense about music) is at:

Says that this is a good game yet is quite prepared to point out weaknesses.
