81/100

Civil War: Atlanta 1864 is a robust hex-based wargame that prioritizes historical accuracy over flashy arcade action. As a simulation of Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, it offers a deep tactical dive for history buffs and strategy veterans. The AI is remarkably competent, often punishing players who overextend their supply lines or fail to account for the defensive bonuses of rugged terrain.

The visual style is reminiscent of classic tabletop wargames, which adds to the gravitas of the experience. I particularly appreciate the 'unit morale' system—seeing a veteran regiment break under concentrated artillery fire feels authentic to the period. While the learning curve is steep, the inclusion of detailed historical scenarios and a comprehensive tutorial makes it accessible to those willing to put in the time. It is a serious, well-researched title that honors its subject matter through complex systems and rewarding tactical play.

Various bug fixes


May 1864 three Union armies have been assembled by General Sherman for the march into Georgia. The Army of the Cumberland was the largest command by Major General George H. Thomas. The Army of the Tennessee was the second largest commanded by Major General James B. McPherson. Major General John M. Schofield commanded the Army of the Ohio which was the smallest of the assembled armies.

Facing Sherman was General Joseph E. Johnston and his Army of Tennessee who was outnumbered by 2 to 1 but forces from Mississippi, Mobile and the Atlantic coast were on the way to swell his ranks. Rocky Face Ridge near Dalton, Georgia was Sherman’s first major obstacle. The next was the Etowah River. By June 18th Johnston had taken up his strongest position at the Kennesaw Mountain Line.

By early July Sherman had pushed Johnston back through north Georgia and the next goal was Atlanta. Destroying the railroads and capturing factories around the city would provide a political boost to President Abraham Lincoln and impair the southern war effort.
