2026 · American Civil War
Mr. Lincoln's War
Two linked wargames cover the American Civil War in the Eastern and Western theaters, from Bull Run through Appomattox. Short scenarios recreate campaigns and battles including Shiloh, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Atlanta, while campaign games let players raise armies, call volunteers or a draft, build navies, manage blockades, and pursue victory on either front. The two campaigns can be combined into a grand campaign spanning the entire war.
