American Conquest covers 300 years of history, from the moment Columbus landed on Newfound Land in 1492 to the War of Independence, some 321 years later.

The game features some of the biggest battles ever seen in a real-time strategy game, with each player able to command armies of up to 16,000 individual units. Advanced AI provides the sternest challenge yet, as commanders wage bloody war across a series of historical battles. Huge maps over 600 'screens' large make each encounter a challenge – and with over 100 unique units and a similar amount of unique buildings, the tactical scope is immense.

"These antique pistols are works of art," says Anita Rodic, PR Manager, CDV Software Entertainment UK. "Modelled on the weapons of the era they will make perfect trophies for fans of American history. American Conquest offers unrivalled historical conflict set within historically accurate campaigns – whether you're a lucky winner of the replica antique pistols or not, there's no excuse not to enjoy the PC's most epic real-time strategy game ever."
