Gary Grigsby's War between the States - announced
eddys...@hotmail.com
Copy & Paste from the press release :
Features include:
· 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.

like tears in rain. Time to die.

"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.

Check the forums again, Erik has posted widescreen screenshots...
