Take Command: 2nd Manassas is the most detailed Civil War game to date, presenting nearly 50 scenarios with historically accurate maps, leaders and regiments as well as authentic flags that separate the different states...

Play any leader on any battlefield of the 2nd Manassas campaign. You can play all main battles from both fronts with as much or as little detail as you like. Command combat from a third-person view, with full military control over your troops. Just like those who fought in the American Civil War, you will face difficulties in communication, uncertainty over enemy positions and numerous other factors affecting the outcome of each battle.
