  I followed a man named Abraham Lincoln, who was dressed in a black suit and matching tophat, into battle. The battle line broke before Abe did. God bless America.

  Don't give the game bad reviews because of it's low player base. Don't be stupid, tell your friends to buy it if you want to play with someone. This game's best mode is commander battle anyway, you don't need many people for playing that. There will be big update soon and the game has one of the best user friendly map editor. I'm not very satisfied with the melee, but that might be mainly engine's fault. Don't know if developers can do much about it. However, it was their decision, so they also take the responsibility for the outcome anyway. 8/10

  I have been a Civil War reenactor for the past 27 years. No CW game has come the closest to replicating the feeling of being a reenactor as BCoF. The battle scenarios are great for small and large scale encounters. The best CW games for me have always been tactical ones (the Talonsoft "Battleground" series in the 90's, Sid Meier's Gettysburg, and the Ultimate General games). I never thought anyone could make a good 1st person shooter CW game. I was wrong.

  Historical Accuracy

  If you want to know what it's like to skirmish/small battle with the enemy, try one of the conquest battles. I was a company commander for 17 years and the commander conquest battles are a near perfect replica of that experience. There are many other parts of the reenacting experience that Flying Squirrel gets right. You can spend hours kitting out different units in extremely accurate uniforms/equipment. The Western Confederate uniforms need to be added, but the mid-war ANV stuff is great. The US stuff is great, with a few missing options, but it's solid as well. If you're familiar with original CW uniforms and equipment, as I am, you'll appreciate the intricate detail that's in this part of the game. (You'll feel like you're flipping through your old copy of "Echoes of Glory".)

  Music

  The music straight up slaps. Right now, for the proper CW vibe, you want to leave the music on the "Folk" channel. I hope they add more songs in the future, but even if they don't you won't be disappointed with the music. Although, they may owe the 2nd South Carolina String Band royalties as their stuff is about 90% of what gets played.

  Support Classes

  The support classes, medic, musician, and pioneer, are coming along nicely. The only beef I have with them is that some of the field fortifications, while useful, look a little hokey from the pioneer. You might see a gabion sitting sideways on top of a single sand bag, for example. But, all classes are effective and fun to have around, particularly in larger battles.

  But, is it a fun video game?

  If you don't care about any of this historical stuff, and you're just into video games, here you go: It's an improvement on Warband. The melee is still janky, but I learned to use it, and I suck at melee in Warband, so there's that. Also, rifled muskets instead of smoothbore muskets mean you are going to hit what you're aiming at more often.

  Final Recommendation

  Look, I never buy games that are in early access, but my son (also a CW reenactor) convinced me to get this one, and I have been completely satisfied. I look forward to whatever improvements are coming, but the game right now is in excellent shape. If you like the CW, or Warband, buy this game.

  I've lived in the south 19 years and somehow my voice gets more southern when playing this

  Dead game. Devs wasted their time making napoleonic and space mods rather than working on the actual game I bought. Servers are dead 99% of the time.

  It's a great game, but there is only multiplayer and unless you join a regiment, you will only be able to join less than a handful of populated servers, which are dead unless you show up at precisely the right time, that combined with my personal experience of not being able to have a little bit of fun without some tryhard admin muting you or banning your friends to satisfy their ego makes this a no. Save your money.

  I believe this is the first review I've ever bothered to write. I don't want space, WW1, or Napoleonic battles. I bought a game about the civil war, and would prefer to play just that. It would be nice to see more improvements of the base game and less weird game modes. A single player skirmish, similar to M&B, would also be appreciated.

  the population is so low it can't fill a lobby on a Friday night. the weapons are somehow less satisfying to use then the ones in Napoleonic (i am told this is for "balance") rifles that in reality can hit 12 inch targets at 500 yards can't hit a human sized target at 50. Infantry that historically carried 40-100 rounds of ammunition are locked to a max of 20. in short. an empty game that fails to be ether fun or historically accurate.
