Well worth a look.  I'm just sayin'.

This is a preview and an interview with the author that I did last year.  This is a very interesting game in a Twilight Struggle vein, where you're playing from the grand-strategic level, earning political capital by landing wins in the field and spending it to support your commanders.  Card-driven, historic-event-driven, can play two to four players.

     I have no financial stake in the game and no vested interest other than to get it published which can be challenging for wargames that aren't in the standard mold (i.e., World War II tank battles).  We wargamers tend to evangelize a bit for games we want to see clear their preorder numbers.

     Lincoln's War is a very interesting critter that uses a lot of euro concepts to advance the gameplay.  You still need to make good decisions on the map, but it's really about the wheeling and dealing going on in Washington and Richmond more than operations in the field.
