Matrix Games and 2 by 3 Games (www.2by3games.com) are thrilled to announce Gary
Grigsby’s War Between the States, an innovative turn-based grand strategy game
set during the American Civil War!
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “2 by 3 Games have
brought us some timeless wargames that people will be enjoying for years to
come. Now that they’re taking their talent in grand strategy games to the
American Civil War we can look forward to another masterpiece of wargaming!”
Taking gamers back to the American Civil War, Gary Grigsby’s War Between the
States allows players to experience the trials and tribulations of the role of
commander-in-chief for either side. Historically accurate, detailed and finely
balanced for realistic gameplay, War Between the States is also easy to play and
does not take months to finish.
Promote and cultivate talented young colonels or brigadiers to build Corps and
Army commanders that will help you fight and manage the war effort from battles
to training of recruits with the utmost efficiency and success. An innovative
multi-faceted rank promotion system allows leaders to gain in abilities and
power based on their successes, while also simulating the historical progression
of leaders during the war. Each decision you make must be weighed carefully, as
promoting and demoting leaders, entering neutral states, raising troops and many
other actions cost you the political capital that will determine your ability to
achieve victory.
Explore the historical tactics of the day to find the best way to win. Use
cavalry to raid the enemy supply depots and conduct reconnaissance to determine
the best place to strike and then engage the enemy head on and watch the epic
push and pull of battle unfold in front of you. In between battles, the mighty
Union navy or brave Confederate raiders can strangle and disrupt supply flow at
critical times in your campaign. Build river gunboats and transports to exploit
the strategic value of the Mississippi and entrench and fortify key locations to
deny passage to the enemy.
Test your mettle and strategic vision in one of the most bitterly fought
contests in history – the War Between the States.
