Playing as the Union we frequently found ourselves gravitating toward a Lincolnian approach (Southern port blockades, thrusts toward Richmond and Atlanta, stovepipe hats for all). Leading the Rebs, cavalry raids, deft Northern nose-bloodying and mellow Kentucky bourbon became natural preoccupations.

Just about the only thing we can find to grumble about is the music. It's perfect (plenty of fife and drum, fiddle and banjo) but the period song snippets are far too brief. Thank heavens for the good ole' 2nd South Carolina String Band!
