The Union and the Confederate States of America fighting for 2 years now. A confederate victory is close! Both sides fight in the biggest war on the american continent: The American Civil War 1861-1865.
The second episode of this modification will feature the Battle of Gettysburg, which was the largest battle as well as the turning point of the Civil War.
For three days in July 1863, both armies clashed near the small town Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. It will be the biggest battle on the american continent.
SPECIAL THANKS AND CREDITS
I would like to thank the secession team and its contributors for their cooperation, Azrooh, Austro and Rigadoon for some of their fancy civil war stuff and support.
Beside that, credits go to yellowmosquito, Gabbi, berserkergang and Kopcap! Special credit goes to total war modder Primergy and his "North and South" mod for NTW.
A great cheer to the Second Carolina String Band and California State Fife and Drum Corps for their music contribution to turn the game into a deeper civil war atmosphere.
Factions• Two new factions will join the fight! While you can still choose the 1861 armies, the
Army of the Potomac (1863) and the
Army of Northern Virginia (1863) join the fight as well!
Uniforms• A large amount of high-quality, historically accurate uniforms for each side!
• Many uniforms of famous regiments and brigades! Fight with the maltese cross of the 20th Maine on your kepi, in the uniform of the iron brigade, and many more!
New Rank System• Each soldier can choose
various amount of historical ranks.
You are a Lieutenant in your regiment? Feel free to choose a Lt. uniform and be proud of your rank. Even the common soldiers can choose different ranks like Private First Class or Corporal.
Each rank will be displayed on your uniform!
Uniform customization• While each unit class has some predefined uniform models, you are
able to customize some parts of your uniform.
Confederate soldiers are able to choose different kepis, forage caps and slouch hats. They can also choose their uniform color or equipment parts.
While the federal uniforms are mostly the same, you can also choose different kepis, with various division and corps symbols on it.
New Battlefield tactics!• Rifles do not have a fixed bayonet at spawn.
Fix and Unfix bayonet command is important now.
• Supply trains are added. Those can be limbered with an artillery train and moved around. Each supply wagon offers resupply crates to
refill your ammo!
Maps• A large amount of historical accurate maps, which feature different parts of the battle of Gettysburg. Fight at McPhersons Ridge and
reenact the brave charge of the 14th Brooklyn or capture the Round Tops with the famous 15th Alabama.

Ingame player regiments!• Helpful and loyal player regiments can get their
own unique regiment ingame!
With a small donation, regiment leaders can get their regiment ingame. You and your regiment will be able to play a new class, which is just available and unique to your regiment. You will have your own name, own uniform and flag colors. That regiment with its own uniform is exclusive for you and your soldiers, while other players can see your unique uniform and be jealous.
Those regiments have to be historical and civil war based of course!
