User Summary Assuming the side of the Yankees or the Confederates, you move simple troops markers around to defeat the enemy and facilitate trains that bring you gold. The gold can be used to purchase more troops or additional skills. Combat is on an open field screen, in which your cavalry, artillery and infantry, can be moved against each other with basic controls, or on a fort screen, in which you play a more action game shooting at enemies as they pop up their heads to shoot at you.
