About this game

This is a mobile version of the PC series Civil War Battles which has produced 12 releases ranging from Bull Run to the Battle of Franklin. This first mobile release takes you through 14 hypothetical scenarios as a Union commander in 1862 and introduces you to this unique game system and its mobile interface. Following this free release, there will be additional releases in the series each representing a smaller mobile version of the corresponding PC game.

Civil War Battles is a detailed turn-based simulation of combat from the American Civil War. Unit types include infantry, cavalry, artillery, gunboats, and supply wagons as well as leaders which can significantly determine the outcome of a battle just based on their own personal leadership and command abilities. This version includes 9 "boot camp" scenarios which allows you to build your skill as a Civil War leader and culminates in 4 battle scenarios involving every aspect of Civil War combat.

While this version of Civil War Battles will run on large-screen Android phones, it is best on an Android tablet with screen size of 7 inches or more.

Ratings and reviews

Fine military simulation board game. Good mechanics. The automatic defensive opportunity fires, line-of-sight component, and unit disruption, help highlight the importance of positioning, fieldcraft, and logistics. I've played through a few scenario so far and haven't encountered any problems.

Awesome series and great strategy game. My condolences the ,John Tiller family. I just seen the news he passed away. I don't know when he passed away but for myself this is the first I heard of him passing away.

I live the game but I do wish that the vietnam one was updated and kinda more like this and more missions but yeah that's all but for this civil war this is pretty awesome.
