The Civil War, which has served as the basis for countless books, movies, and interactive entertainment, is remembered as the most devastating war ever fought on United States soil. The compelling story of the war has been retold and illustrated worldwide for over a century in attempts to grasp the conflict that served as a model for other wars. Enter War Between the States, a 3D combat and strategy PC game with enormous scope that will open eyes and beguile intellects. War Between the States is designed to be the most accurate and realistic reenactment of war in computer game history.

Fort Sumter, 1861, the not-so-United States. Surrounding troops in recently seceded South Carolina devastate the struggling armies of the North, triggering a full-scale war. You must decide if you will command the Union troops of the North or the South's Confederate soldiers in all-out campaigns along the East Coast's vast terrains. You create the objectives and have the power to determine the fate of every battle, including the denouement, Gettysburg. Wage the entire crusade from beginning to end or select battles of your choosing. You make the war what you want it to be. Rewriting history is now at your fingertips.

Single-player options include Engagements (scenarios), Foray (deathmatches), State Campaigns, and the comprehensive Civil War mode. Players create their own objectives and choose from 70+ weapons and units to supply full-scale armies. Units range from infantry and cavalry to ironclads and mortars and operate on a true-to-scale terrain.
