Use of special abilities, general cards and battle cards will influence the outcome.

A full campaign game and two shorter scenarios let you select the period of the War. Grand Army of the Republic provides hours of fun and insight into America's bloodiest conflict, the War Between the States. Discover the War as it was or could have been.
