What is the best ACW simulation ? - Jolly Roger - 08-28-2008 Hi folks. Not sure, if I should buy Sid Meier´s Gettysburg. What is the best AWC simulation ? HPS ? Talonsoft / Matrix ? Sid Meier ? Thanks, Klaus RE: What is the best ACW simulation ? - rekm45 - 08-28-2008 Depends on the level of detail and if your into strategic or tactical simulations of that conflict. Matrix does a very good job covering Strategic in Forge of Freedom with tactical mixed in. RE: What is the best ACW simulation ? - Anthropoid - 08-28-2008 FoF is one of the best strategic level wargames I have ever played. It also has an excellent tactical battle engine, but that is only for play against the AI. One could I suppose, create tactical scenarios that represented the major battles of the war however, and then combine the best of both tactical and strategic into one with FoF. RE: What is the best ACW simulation ? - Three63 - 08-31-2008 I like AGEOD's 'American Civil War The Blue and the Grey', even if it's only operational based. RE: What is the best ACW simulation ? - Anthropoid - 08-31-2008 Here is a good thread that details what is good about FoF What a Fantastic Game!
