The game's artwork, created by renowned RPG and historical artist Eric Hotz, adds to the overall atmosphere, drawing you into the world of the Civil War. Whether you're a history buff or just a fan of strategic gameplay, Sam Grant is a must-play, and can even be combined with Bobby Lee for an epic showdown that spans both theaters of the war.
