Bought & played the SC-US Civil War game.
Bottom line, the Virginia campaign is just too WW1 for me.
Western theater and Naval, is playable for fun, could live with that.
Something goofy with the map. Too big maybe.
SC game engine doesn't fit

Looking to buy something new:

2-player
PBEM friendly
Don't need to be a lawyer to play & learn rules

Despite be two decades old, heard Forge of Freedome is decent beer/pretzel?

Ideas?

Try it or the two Ageod Civil War games.

I've got em but as usual have too many games and not enough time to learn to play properly.

I like maps and for me the first Ageod game AACW has the nicest map,

Checking some demos out.
Seeing that I just pay $90 to fill my truck with gas about every 4th day, cost of a game is nothing.

Thanks for the Tip,

So you could get all three for one tankful, which is not a bad philosophy.
I tend to think in terms of the number of beers a price represents.
Unfortunately today I had to fill up at a place 7p more than usual - 70 litres = 1 beer lost because I hadn't planned ahead !

I hear ya. And thanks.

A little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities, is one thing.
But the Devil's juice of drunkenness is hard road.

These are Civil War games designed quite different.
Going to sub-forums.
Figuring out new games is always my weakness.

Lean not to thy own understanding,

Forge of Freedom has a 252 page manual.
Game is 18 years old, must be good to still have sales.
No wonder I get addicted to games and don't want to switch.
Learning curve is a bitch.

Medical warning in the manual, 1st part !!! (love it)

Main menu has the classic song (love it), Shall We Gather By the River

Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.

On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will talk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.

Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

At the smiling of the river,
Mirror of the Savior’s face,
Saints, whom death will never sever,
Lift their songs of saving grace.

Soon we’ll reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
