· Use wisdom and strategy to appoint the best leader for the job – With an innovative new system, units train and function best with the right leader. Weigh the strengths and weakness of the men commanding your armies to maximize unit attributes like attack, defense, movement, initiative probability, and training.
· Play on the edge of your seat with a suspenseful battle resolution system – Watch the push and pull of forces as the battle unfolds that will make or break your plans resolve.
· Master critical Cavalry Scouting and Raiding and penetrate deep into enemy territory - With the optional Fog of War rule, cavalry scouting becomes even more important. The Confederate early war cavalry advantage is accurately simulated.
· Achieve naval superiority with a realistic and complete naval war model – Harass and interrupt critical trade routes with a Union blockade and or Confederate commerce raiders. Build river gunboats and transports to control the “Father of Waters” and conduct amphibious assaults by river or sea.
· Fortify and Entrench – Entrench your armies and build permanent fortifications to protect strategic locations and interdict river movement.
· Conserve your Political Capital – Use it prudently to call for new troops, change leaders and enter neutral states. Build it up through successes and keep it high enough to secure final victory.

"World in Flames" was targeting Origins, too, but now the word is "Christmas 2008".
However once upon a time WiF was targeting "summer '98" anyway, so I think that time calculations for this game are a little bit on the "Doctor Who" side.

Just what the world was crying out for. Another grand strategic ACW game.

Well, years from now when no one has made another one, you'll be glad you had the abundance you've got now. I've played all three and they all are differen experiences, with WBTS being the most accessible of all I'd say but also very historical.

All those screen shots are 4:3 ratio. I hope that doesn't mean he has neglected to support widescreen once again. That game looks too much like Forge of Freedon and the AEGOD games anyway.
