Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run
$1.99About Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run
A tactical turn based strategy game where you will command either the Union or Confederate armies during the first year of the American Civil War in 1861.
You will storm the mountain passes of West Virginia, make amphibious assaults along the Potomac River and fight pitched battles across a 19th century North America. Similar in style to Advance Wars or Panzer General, Pixel Soldiers is a game for wargamers and casual gamers alike.
This game is set almost 50 years in the future from the previous Pixel Soldiers game (Pixel Soldiers: Waterloo).
FEATURES:
*Command your armies with ease.
*Difficult to master in-depth strategy.
*Play against an intelligent AI opponent or another player on the same device.
*Morale system: Units that take casualties may go into disorder or break and run depending on their morale.
*Includes Union and Confederate campaigns with historical scenarios leading up to the Battle of First Manassas (Bull Run) in the east, and Wilson's Creek in the west.
*Many different types of units and weapons, complete with individual uniforms.
*Command gunboats and troop ships along the Potomac River.
STRATEGY AND TACTICS:
Use the terrain to your advantage: Keep vulnerable units behind ridges or hide them in the trees. Protect vital mountain passes and river crossings.
Use your artillery for long range fire support or risk placing them near the enemy to use murderous canister shot. Pixel Soldiers Bull Run now has rifled and smoothbore cannon.
Place your cavalry on the flanks or keep them in reserve for a devastating counter attack.
Use your various Infantry units well. Skirmishers are good at delaying and disrupting enemy attacks or guarding the flanks. Use riflemen to give accurate fire support, whereas those armed with smoothbore muskets are best suited for close range gritty fighting.
Will you push your troops forward and seize the initiative? Or will you set up a defensive line, await reinforcements and let the enemy come to you?
These and many more questions you will need to ask yourself. There are many ways to win the game.
HOW TO PLAY
Tap to select a unit. Tap again to move or attack!
Long press on a unit or tap a unit's description to see more information
Pinch zoom in and out of the battle to get a better view.
Long press anywhere to check line of sight.
These are the basic controls to get you started. There is also a tutorial that can be accessed at any time.
I want this game to be as good and as fun as it possibly can be so if you have any questions or ideas let me know! Email me at jollypixelgames@gmail.com

This game is pretty fine indeed. The gameplay is refined and addicting, challenging enough to hook you but easy enough to keep patience... Perfect. There is a slight lack of content for the price. Maybe in a future update things like custom maps could be added... (Gave 5 stars for the comment reply. Always nice to see a devoted developer.)

I love the game a lot, and thank you for adding Wilson's Creek, I live in that area and I am really grateful you have added that battle. Sadly not a lot of people know about it. Anyway, I would like to see maybe a custom map where one can make the terrain for a battle, along with objectives and troop placement. That would be nice, but thank you again for a great game.
