The card system however adds a level of historical feeling that I've not experienced in any other Civil War game. The game plays similar to VG's Civil War game, especially in the way generals are handled and combat units (with a few imporvements). It was a very good game when published by Avalon Hill but the improvements made with the GMT version pushed it to 10. I find that these lists sometimes are helpful for others seeking similar games and the more rich the discussion for more useful the list.įor a complete listing of my Top 10 lists, see- MetaList: Nap's Top 10 Lists.Īs always, thanks for reading and participating! FYI - I am a sucker for comments and discussion and usually most if not all of them. If I missed one that you feel is essential or I am "insane for not listing" (trust me, it has been said before), then by all means let the comments fly. Feel free to this list (to draw attention and more comments) or any pleasing, interesting or thought provoking entries.

This is a list of the BEST! As always, your mileage may vary and some entries may be "controversial." As such, please feel free to comment, debate, or just express your own point of view.

These are games that meet all of the following criteria: (1) focuses on the American Civil War (2) strategic in scale covering the war as is raged throughout America (3) primarily a wargame, but can address elements of the political, diplomatic and economic pressures associated with the American Civil War (4) addresses the "theme" in an interesting or compelling manner that leaves the player with a better understanding of the American Civil War (and its various aspects) and (5) fun to play (understanding that this can be very subjective, especially for wargames).

Below is my Top 10 list of games covering the American Civil War on a grand strategic scale.
