Strategic Command: American Civil War is a deep turn‑based grand strategy game developed by Fury Software and published by Matrix Games. Set during the pivotal years of the American Civil War, players take command of either the Union or the Confederacy, directing armies, research, production, and diplomacy across a massive 66,000‑hex map spanning North America from Canada to the Caribbean at a 15 km/9 mi scale — the largest battlefield yet in the Strategic Command series. Your decisions determine whether the United States remains united or divides forever.
The game models historical strategy with detailed military operations, recruitment of volunteers into Brigades, Divisions, and Corps, and the appointment of famous generals like Grant, Lee, Sherman, and Jackson to lead your forces. Riverine warfare along major waterways, ironclad ships at sea, cavalry and scouts for reconnaissance, and diplomatic events such as the Emancipation Proclamation or European intervention add layers of strategic depth. With a robust scenario editor, official mods, and both single‑player and multiplayer modes, the game offers replayability and complex challenges for history buffs and hardcore wargamers alike.
