From AACWWiki
AGEOD’s American Civil War (AACW) is a historical strategy game using simultaneous turn resolution – also called a WEGO system – that places players at the head of the United States (USA) or Confederate States (CSA) of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It can be played either against the computer’s artificial intelligence (AI) or against a human opponent using file transfer protocols (PBEM).
Players assume the role of military and political leaders leading the armies and fleets of their nation during these five years of bitter struggle throughout a divided nation.
Both sides will strive to capture and hold key objectives, destroy enemy forces in order to break his will to fight and hopefully win the war. Although clearly focused on military operations, politics and economics are also modeled in great detail. Many options are open to the warring parties such as; attempting to gain foreign support, increasing production capacity through targeted investment and wrecking havoc on the enemy’s economy through blockade or commerce raiding.
