With its unique blend of command and control, and a combat system that simulates the warfare of the 17th century, this game is perfect for history buffs and strategy enthusiasts alike. The game is designed for two players, and while the rules may take some time to learn, the payoff is well worth the effort - a typical playtime of 240 minutes will fly by as you become fully immersed in the action.

With a wide range of units at your disposal, including infantry brigades, cavalry regiments, and artillery batteries, you'll need to use all your tactical skills to emerge victorious. The game's highly interactive nature means that no two battles will ever be the same, and with its rich historical context and detailed gameplay, This Accursed Civil War is an absolute must-play for anyone looking for a challenging and engaging gaming experience.
