American Civil War Game Club

American Civil War Game Club

One of the passions I have had over the years is playing strategic games. In my youth it was board games, such as Gettysburg from Avalon Hill among others. When computers first started maturing, these types of games became very popular as they made the tedious calculations automatic, and improved the speed of game play. Today that technology has improved to the point that the armed forces are using those same computer simulations to train the leaders and troops that go in harm's way to defend our nation.

Today’s Family First Site is one that is dedicated to the playing of these games over the Internet. It is called the American Civil War Gaming Club, and is dedicated to playing the war games of the War Between the States. Here you can find opponents, or allies, or teams of allies, and fight to your hearts content. The games featured here are by TalonSoft and HPS, but the site has no connection to those companies at all, save using their products.

So if you are looking for a good (simulated) fight, or truly believe the south will rise again, then this site is for you. I have it on good information that they are looking for some good players for the Confederate States of America. Time to rally around the flag, boys.

    ACW wargamers might like to check out an Australian wargames figure manufacturer, Eureka Miniatures. They have a '100 club' whereby wargamers can request figures that aren't generally made. If a minimum of 150 figures are ordered for one such request and at least 10 people show an interest, then Eureka will produce that figure. It all depends on pre-orders. Figure sculpting and animation is excellent. At present, Confederate infantry in battleshirts for the Trans-Mississippi area and Quantrill's Guerilla's are on the 'wants list'.
