AGEOD

AGEOD is an up and coming wargaming company created by the man behind the Europa Universalis phenomenon, Philippe Thibaut. Their only Civil War wargame currently is AGEOD’s American Civil War, shown below. Go check out their forums!

The following information is taken from AGEOD’s web site:

AGEOD’S AMERICAN CIVIL WAR (AACW) – The Blue and the Gray is a historical operational strategy game with a simultaneous turn-based engine (WEGO system) that places players at the head of the USA or CSA during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

Players are military and political leaders trying to lead the troops of their nations (armies and fleets) to victory, in the midst of some of the toughest operations during those five years of wild campaigning throughout a divided nation.

Most of the individual years of campaign between 1861 and 1865 are playable via a separate scenario (to be refined during beta testing). Advanced scenarios will allow recreation of some yearly and/or theatre campaigns, and there will be of course the complete Grand Campaign covering the whole war.
