Any Good Civil war games?
I have only played Sid Meyers games on the computer.
Anyone know of any other quality Civil War games out there? They dont have to full of "eye candy" just fun and high quality. I would really like to look into some.

The game is by Paradox Interactive. It's going to be released very soon. April 18th It's getting high marks from reviewers.
It's called "TAKE COMMAND" Second Manassas http://www.paradoxplaza.com http://www.paradoxplaza.com/takecommand.asp It has a one page advertisement in my recent PC Lamer.

HPS Sims
I have Gettysberg. AI is kind of dumb but has a strong following and very good pbem at the Civil War Club. As far as I know it allows the largest most "strategic" treatment of the battles. Game play is very similar to panzer campaigns.

At first look the "Take command "
game looks very cool like a slower Rome with muskets. Anyone who is into The War of Northern aggression should take a look at the demo

Too bad the game is solo
and not multiplayer. Still the demo was kick ass. Felt very real way better than rome battles slower but ungodly sized map with a pretty cool fog of war.

I have been playing the "Take Command" 1st Bull Run and the 2nd Manassas
demos and boy have they knocked my socks off. Excellent gameplay (even hours of time in just demos) Its a blast trying to move a few Brigades around trying to co-ordinate a Division with artillery support its just amazing. Only flaw is that its solo play with no Multiplayer (Was dying to flank soldier and break his Texans) Unless you are dilligent and galloping all over field your su-ordinate commanders make descisions on their own =) definately worth a look.(atleast the demos) Im buying the games Next Im going to try some of the HPS games
