this turn based strategy game is where i cut my teeth learning the art of battlefield strategy. The music was great and trying to get the high ground for your canons and troops to dig in was amazing. The reenactment scenes were always entertaining and trying to keep your troops moral up was always a struggle. It was one of my and still is one of my favorite turn based strategy games.

much like its sequel, this is a masterclass in a turn-based game - the way you buy weapons and build up your forces is great. Plus the sometimes humors tone where you can see stuff like moral being shown as a guy that runs away is just too much fun :P

I absolutely loved this game growing up! It actually spurred my interest in the civil war entirely! I can still remember playing the battle of chancelorsville.

This is one of the earliest games I remember playing. It was at some old friend of my Dad's house that I went to once or twice. Turn based hexagonal strategy game that reminds me a lot of Panzer General. For that reason alone is enough for me to get it outright. I remember hearing "The Bonnie Blue Flag" playing during the game and being catchy. I greatly enjoyed watching the short live action reenactment battle clips played during each attack. It was great!

Project X Zone
Project X ZoneProject X Zone is a crossover tactical role-playing game for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a follow up to the video game Namco × Capcom and features characters from Namco Bandai, Capcom, and Sega. Stages in Project X Zone take place in grid-based locations from the game's many crossover titles. Each friendly unit is made up of two characters (thus referred to as a Pair Unit), though a third character (or "Solo Unit") can be added for once-per-battle assistance. Unlike Namco × Capcom, units can move freely within their range on the field map, with no penalty for accessing treasure chests or destructible objects prior to attacking.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
