Decisive Battles of the American Civil War Vol. 1 (1989) for DOS is a more classic tactical wargame, released by Strategic Studies Group. It’s a hex-based simulation that allows players to take command of either Union or Confederate forces in key Civil War battles, like Gettysburg, Shiloh, and Antietam. The game focuses on in-depth battlefield strategy, including factors like terrain, troop morale, and supply lines.
The game’s interface is pretty straightforward, offering a detailed view of the map and a focus on unit movement and combat mechanics. Its historical accuracy, combined with turn-based gameplay, made it a deep experience for fans of both tactical wargames and Civil War history. The gameplay is more about long-term strategic planning and managing your army efficiently than quick, action-packed battles.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse.
