About Civil War Battles - Battles

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.

I love it, it's a bit crude, but this really is even better than most of the computer battle sims with all of the flashy graphics and all. I would really love a pre-gun "Roman-era" game though. Think you could make it happen? I'd pay three dollars or so for that.

Pretty good game. I like strategy, so that probably makes me a little bias, but it's good anyway. And to Mr. Carbaugh, Antietam was the bloodiest DAY on American soil. Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle. About 50,000 people died.

Have played PC version for years. Needs "view hex outlines" . Hard to estimate distances otherwise. Otherwise looks like good implementation. Do the other games allow choice of which side to play? If not WHY?

Great game series. (if you'd transfer the Gettysburg and Overland campaigns, i would buy them!). This app is an intro to a strategy series of historical civil war campaigns. Typical hex-based strategy war game-- allocation and management of your units combined with topographical strategy. Only thing i wish ia that every battle would be playable from both sides, rather than one battle union, the next confed. The later campaigns allow this option. A must have, though, for civil war fans

Guy below says Antietem was bloodier than Gettysburg...Antietem was the bloodiest day, Gettysburg is the bloodiest battle.

Very well done. Nothing like pushing Nathan Bedford Forrest into the river and off the map.His timing and movement was almost predicted. I feel so smart! Gettysburg. I want to execute Longstreet's plan. As for my southern friend who called me a dirty Yankee... it's over, you lost, and BTW,Grant and Sherman were both buckeyes as well.

I played the tutorials a few times each, trying to get higher scores and try tactics and strategies. Also read the user manual. The learning curve is a fun process. Then there are 4 battle scenarios, even more fun, now I am a grizzled vet. I have graduated to the paid apps, Shiloh 1st, it is huge, real steal for $3!!
