Your main goal on both sides is to ultimately completely eliminate all of your opponents’ troops in each of the colonies by beating them in battles. The choices that you get to choose from vary depending on which side and which
commander in chief you decide to use. Although the game play focuses mainly on the military aspects of the war, your relationship with civilians and political entities are of vital importance. They are very important because whether or not they approve of you as a commander in chief will determine on your military budget for spending and they do have the ability to vote you out of your position. Like most other historical strategy simulation games, this one is also very accurate in reproducing the war, important figures, and the military strategies that were used. Each part lasts about half a month and therefore, you get about 24 turns per month. The governments meet every quarter to decide how much money they will allow you to spend on the war. There are even patriot and loyalist militias and German mercenary regiments that can help you out if you win them over with your political suaveness.
The makers of this game were good enough to do all their research on the Revolutionary War in great detail so that they could portray it so accurately with awesome historical detail, level of difficulty, and the amount of time that it takes to finish just one game. You will find yourself spending hours playing just one version of the war and still end up being defeated in the end. The user interface is very easy to learn. This game can be played in single player mode, two player mode or it can have two computer generated players. Try it and you won’t be disappointed!
