Originally released in 2017, the game has been extensively rebuilt and expanded for modern systems while preserving the fast and accessible hex-based warfare of the original.  Command infantry, cavalry, artillery and generals across a detailed historical battlefield. Use terrain, positioning, concentrated fire and flanking attacks to break the enemy line.  The rules are easy to understand, but every battlefield presents a different tactical problem.  Four Historical Battles  The base game includes the four original historical scenarios:     Battle of the Crater      Bermuda Hundred      New Market Heights      Cold Harbor / Richmond     Each battle features historically inspired formations, terrain and objectives built around the historical Petersburg battlefield map.  Play them individually and master each engagement across multiple difficulty levels.  Tactical Turn-Based Combat  Every formation has a limited number of movement and combat actions each turn.  Success depends on how you use them.    Maneuver infantry through favorable terrain    Position artillery to dominate important approaches    Use cavalry to threaten exposed flanks    Protect your general    Exploit weakened enemy formations    Attack from behind for a  +40% flanking bonus     Decide when to advance and when to preserve your forces    Battles are designed to move quickly without sacrificing tactical depth.  Two Ways to View the Battlefield  Switch instantly between two complementary battlefield views.  Classic View  Experience the battlefield from the distinctive tabletop perspective of the original game, with upright formations and a cinematic view across the historical map.  Tactical View  Move to a clearer command-oriented battlefield view designed for quickly reading formations, terrain and objectives.  Change views at any time during battle.  Significantly Improved Battlefield AI  Compared to the original  2017 release , the battlefield AI has been substantially improved to provide a more challenging, believable and tactically varied opponent.  Enemy forces now make much better use of:    Battlefield objectives    Defensive terrain    Artillery positioning    Flanking opportunities    Local counterattacks    Reserve formations    Vulnerable or isolated units    Withdrawal and defensive situations    Rather than simply advancing toward the nearest target, the AI evaluates the developing battle and reacts to threats, opportunities and changing objectives.  Higher difficulty levels increase the challenge further through stronger positioning, more aggressive tactical decisions and more demanding battlefield situations.  The result is a  far more capable and responsive opponent , while preserving the fast turn-based flow of the original game.  Play Against Other Commanders  Battle another player locally or across a network.  Multiplayer modes include:     Online Versus      LAN      Hotseat      Play by Email     Host private matches with friends or create public battles for other players to join.  Configurable turn timers, in-match communication and AI takeover for abandoned battles help keep longer engagements practical to play.  Scenario Editor  Create your own Civil War battles with the built-in  Scenario Editor .  Design battlefields, place formations, define objectives and build scenarios using the same tactical systems as the official battles.  Share your creations through  Steam Workshop , browse community scenarios and build anything from historical engagements to completely original battles.   Community-created scenarios can be played by anyone who owns the base game, with no additional DLC required.   Built for Replayability  Civil War: Battle of Petersburg can be played your way.    Historical single-player battles    Significantly improved battlefield AI    Multiple difficulty levels    Classic and Tactical battlefield views    Online multiplayer    LAN    Hotseat    Play by Email    Scenario Editor    Steam Workshop    Steam achievements and leaderboards    Steam Cloud    Whether you want a quick historical battle, a demanding tactical challenge, a long match against another commander or a scenario of your own creation, the same battlefield system supports them all.  Expand the Petersburg Campaign  Two optional Grand Campaign expansions add  15 missions each , persistent armies, headquarters management, historical formations, equipment, supplies and new battle objectives.  Union Grand Campaign  Lead Grant's armies through the expanding siege, cut the Confederate supply routes and carry the campaign through to the final breakthrough at Petersburg.  Confederate Grand Campaign  Defend Richmond and Petersburg, raid Union supply lines, preserve increasingly scarce forces and fight through the final Confederate withdrawal.  Both Grand Campaign DLCs also unlock their official historical scenarios for individual  Single Battle  play.   Take command. Read the battlefield. Break the enemy line.","shortDescription":"Command Union or Confederate forces near Petersburg and Richmond in 1864. Fight for a nation divided.
