I've been a Civil War buff for almost all of my 27 years and I've been playing Civil War computer and board games since the age of 6. I can honestly say that this is the best Civil War game for computer that I've ever played. The first time I played MMG's first game, Bull Run Take Command 1861, I knew I was hooked. The game truly makes it feel like you are there. Your heart pounds as the enemy line dissappears behind a ridge and then reappears minutes later...and much closer! The explosions around and over your troops as they take artillery fire indicate that this isn't going to be an easy fight. The game is also extremely moddable. Do a web search on Take Command or Mad Minute Games and you'll find numerous fan sites (including mine) that offer new scenarios, new graphics, new sounds, new OOBs, etc. Honest Abe is correct when he/she says that there is no multiplayer...

Graphically, Take Command is the most visually impressive Civil War Game available. This newest version of Take Command includes multiple uniform types for each side's infantry (among them some particularly impressive New York Zouaves and Iron Brigade "Black Hats"). Different versions of the Army of Northern Virginia Battle Flag, individual State/Regimental flags, and separate graphics for rifled and smoothbore artillery are other nice graphical touches, while the High Resolution sprites, look pretty good up close. Furthermore, Take Command is the first 19th century tactical game to present units at a 1:10 scale (older games generally used a 1:50 or 1:40 scale) and actually track the action of each and every soldier/sprite on the screen. Watching a division step off to attack and shake out into battle line when is a truly...

This is a must buy for any history buff who also enjoys wargaming. The game's realism is superior to anything ever presented in a war game, from the painstakingly rendered terrain to the same care in researching and presenting historically accurate scenarios. The game is tremendously immersing - the "you are there" factor is off the charts, from the realistic AI, which represents personalities and their reaction to stressful situations on a level not shown in any game I can think of, to the booming cannon and rolling crash of small arms. I cannot recommend this game enough. And yet, to top it off, this is not a game from some giant developer. This is a product of two dedicated guys, who gave it their all in its creation. 2nd Manassas and its eagerly awaited sequels, representing other Civil War battles, are slated for gaming history.
