Civil War Battles - Shiloh

This is the first paid release in the new touch Civil War Battles series. This release includes 15 Civil War scenarios from Grant's early offensive campaigns in the west culminating in the Battle of Shiloh. Battles include Belmont, Mill Springs, Fort Henry, and Fort Donelson as well as 8 scenarios addressing both the first and second day of fighting at Shiloh. For the first 7 scenarios, you play the role of US General Grant while for the Shiloh scenarios you play the role of the Confederates out to regain the initiative. You should first install and play the free Civil War Battles app to test the game engine on your device and become familiar with the interface.
Civil War Battles is a detailed turn-based simulation of combat from the American Civil War. Unit types include infantry, cavalry, artillery, gunboats, and supply wagons as well as leaders which can significantly determine the outcome of a battle just based on their own personal leadership and command abilities. Scenarios in each release generally cover a combination of both historical and “what-if” scenarios allowing you to make decisions as commander of the forces involved that could dramatically affect the outcome.

While this version of Civil War Battles will run on large-screen Android phones, it is best on an Android tablet with screen size of 7 inches or more.

Great addition to the series. Worth the price. One downside is that Im not a fan of all of scenarios. Some of the Pittsburg Landing scenarios in the end become slow awkward slogs through the forrest. Some of the middle campaigns, which involved storming ramparts, were much more interesting and might be some of the best yet. Very satisfying trying to break 4 different points, succeeding at one and using the momentum. Good game!

not enough time to position troops. Would like to rewrite history not repeat it. Not that I side with the south but for the win aspect of it.

I love this game. Graphics are good. Mechanics are good.Scenarios are interesting and I'm sure historical but they are so short that they are barely playable. Nice option would be to continue after the historical end turn. Otherwise very cool but frustrating.

Excellent game if you enjoy studying the Civil War. Challenging AI and hard to beat.

I've been gaming for more than 30 years and I love this app. Most of the scenarios can be placed in 1-2 hours and the time spent could come down with more experience. It plays best on a tablet for me. The whole game is available from John Teller. It is addictive and fun to play both for Civil War buffs and war gamers in general. Well worth the price.
