Civil War II is a historical operational grand strategy game with a simultaneous turn-based engine that places players at the head of the USA or CSA during the American Civil War. It is a turn based regional game with an emphasis on playability and historical accuracy. Each turn lasts 2 weeks and you must issue your orders in advance, planning on where the enemy will be, not where they are now. Orders are executed simultaneously in 14 phases - 1 per day. Battles are resolved on the day they occur so scheduling the arrival of your forces and planning the logistics or your army are key to success.
