Take note that Slitherine's CEAW forum is still fairly active....

Hi all!!

Still campaigning for a "Commander at Civil War (CTCW)" style game. I'd even settle for a late GG version much like his WW II era stuff. Currently playing a couple of CTGW pbem matches of which I'll be posting AARs about at that forum.


Anything happening Iain?


Update: Here is the CTGW AAR currently in progress: tm.asp?m=4550489&mpage=5&key=&#4562624 as of today 12/01/18

Commander The Civil War (CTCW) would make for a nice Christmas gift Iain ....![;)]

Got up with the kids Christmas morning, the kids had a blast, they got everything they wanted, real fun to watch. When I looked around the Christmas tree all bright with lights I didn't see what I wanted most: "Commander The Civil War" the Matrix/Slitherine Grinch let me down again. A free Holiday Sale game coupon would have softened the blow..!![;)] A belated Happy New Year to you all..!![:D]

No, the moderators are pretty good here unless it get's political, it's very much a free wheeling forum. Spamming is not tolerated either, otherwise, share the wealth..[:)]

Passed the 2 year anniversary of this thread recently and still waiting for some kind of news from Matrix/Slitherine group on any CW development. Also noticed today others who posted threads that are interested in this era, or something close to it. So what do you say Matrix/Slitherine?

Still keeping hope alive That something like Commander The Civil War is in development, or anything Civil War is in development. Would really like a GG re-make of the Civil War IGUGO style...[;)]

Hello Ian,

It's been about two and a half years since you commented about Civil War game development (or rather lack of development). Curious if anything has surfaced that may fill the void?

Thanks, Rip Van Winkle

I like the Commander game design, but I wonder, would the Strategic Command 3 game be doable for Civil War as well?

SCWWI has been updated from tiles to hexes, other changes I'm not sure of. As far as The American Civil War goes I seem to recall a mod that is being produced, or had been produced from a SC game, it may have been mentioned in an above post (will check). The last COMMANDER style game ran so smoothly and encompassed land and water attributes that could be a good fit for a CW type game, same could be said of a GG style game, although the earlier GG "War Between the States" game had potential, I felt the WEGO system stunk and the auto-resolve battle everything stunk. Personally I prefer a grand scale CW game, it does not need to be super hard, and does not need to be historically correct in every sense, it just needs to be playable..

My preference would be a civil war game that's essentially a turn-based tactical simulation, like CWG2, but also has a simplified strategic overlay. Battles should not take months to complete. I don't think there's anything out there that meets my expectations.

This is an edited version of my original post. I meant battles should NOT take months to complete.
While John Tiller makes great civil war games the battles take a very long time to play and I've honestly never finished one.

Hi Andy, I have Civil War Generals II (bought it boxed sealed with original manual $40.00), but never played it. Couldn't get it to run on my pc. When you say battles should take months: Do you mean to play the entire game, or each individual battle? Tell ya what I'd really like is: A TWCW (Total War Civil War) factory game (not a mod). A game that has game support with updates/upgrades, ect.. That would really cool my jets for awhile if Matrix/Slitherine did nothing in the meantime..[;)]

Shogun II: Fall of the Samurai is starting to look like a good buy to me: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/a-total-w ... e-samurai/

Just passed the third anniversary on this thread and have not given up hope that a Commander Civil War may get developed, Perhaps Erik Rutkins could share a few words on any Civil War game development? Perhaps a redevelopment of War Between the States from 2 by 3. Anything?

Would second this motion, here here [;)]

OK, it's been over 4 and a half years since starting this thread and had to go back 31 forum pages to to retrieve it for a post. Certainly by now had expected some news on upcoming CW games being developed (perhaps I missed something relevant), anyhow still in the hunt for a Commander style CW game that would keep myself and perhaps others busy for years to come. Spent sometime yesterday trying to find a way to communicate with 2 by 3 games, but had no success doing so. If there is any other CW developments out there please let me (and others) know by posting here. Not giving up hope of finding a CW game that will fit the bill. I'd settle for a decent WW I game, or even a Franco - Prussian style game grand campaign, we all have our dreams, just maybe, "just maybe" one of my wishes could come true. Have a nice day to all..[:)]
