North & South: First Manassas / ACW Campaign

« on: January 18, 2013, 06:20:14 am »

The ACW Campaign is a combination of both action and strategy.  The American Civil War was a conflict between the North (Union) and the South (Confederates) which started in 1861 and ended 1865.  Each side fought for what they believed in, whether it was to preserve the Union or defend from Northern Aggression.  Both sides had their strengths and weaknesses and fought very bravely in the battlefield.  This campaign is basically a simulation for both sides and everyone must do their part, whether it is leading your troops to victory using skillful tactics, or fighting alongside your brothers in arms.  You will have the chance to rewrite history, there will be historic events when you go a certain place in the map and there will be a Journalist (Me) to keep everyone updated on the news whether you have a Victory with smiles on everyone's face, or a Defeat where every soldier is disheartened but knows they will fight another day.  How will you rewrite history?

War! War! War!, brother against brother, families torn apart, what is this world coming to?  The South have finally had enough and will no longer take orders from it's government.  In the North many abolitionists find this war a way to abolish slavery and so many volunteers start to enlist.  War is never a good thing but to say whose right is very difficult.  How will you rewrite history?
