Game rules of American Civil War - History Games

Goal
The goal of this Turn-based grand strategy wargame is to control all states of the USA when you play North. If you play South, you need to survive 50 turns to win. A game last about 2 hours.

Sides
You may play the United States (North) or the Confederate States (South).

Game elements
There is the main map showing the US states. North territories are marked as blue and South territories are marked as red. Each state can have troops, generals and fortifications. Neutral territories are shown in gray.

Reinforcement
Troops consist of cavalry, infantry and artillery. New troops can be placed in your homestates only and must be moved to the battle fronts from there.

Movement and Attack
Movement and attacks are possible between neighbour territories only. When you plan to attack consider your morale level and troop strength compared to your enemy's. First press on the origin territory and then on the destination territory. Select then the amount of troops to move or attack.

Terrain
States can have woods, plains, hills and so on. Which are only to be considered to give the defender of a state a certain bonus.

Transportation
Crossing rivers and the Atlantic ocean is possible if you own a related card. You can always cross rivers if both the origin and destination territory is held by you.

Railway transporation
Large massive troops can be transported across the country by using the railway transportation card.

Crossing mountains
The Appalachian Mountains seperating several states of North and South can only be crossed if you own the special card.

Battles
After you hit the next turn button, your moves and your enemy's move are considered and executed in abritary order. If it comes to a battle, you have the option to use special battle cards to help the outcome of the battle in your intension. All battles are automatically played by the computer (future version of this game will allow to take command in the battles). Each battle have 20 turns, if the attacker is not able to control all fields in the middle of the map seperating the two sides, he or she will lose. The fighting power is directly influeced by the Morale Level, Generals, fortifications, terrain and random throws.

Cards
Two groups of cards exists. The first group can be played on the main map, e.g. getting more reinforcement. The second group can be played before a battle starts only, .e.g changing the bonus level of your side. Cards can be exchanged for reinforcment (trade card) and vice versa (draw card).
History and events cards are special cards which will have deep impact on the outcome of the game. You get new cards by random or if you win a new territory. There are history cards which will let you win battle regardsless of the chances of the attack.

Fortifications
You can build forts, trenches and telegraphs. Forts and trenches help you to defend your territories. Telegraphs will show you the number of enemy's troops in their neighbourhoods.

Territories
If you double tip on a territory controlled by you, you will see details about stationed troops.

Sea Battles
The Naval Level shows your navy strength. The outcome of naval battles are automatically calculated. This level determines the number of troops which can be moved across rivers and oceans. If your navy is supriour to your enemy's navy, a blockade is made reducing the enemy's reinforcement capabilites.
