Detailed yet casual, the perfect mix

You're on the iPad, so you want a simple wargame. But you want more than cutesy tower defence, you want a game that respects military history, has serious mechanics and lots of detailed scenarios.

Civil War 1862 is that game. A proper tabletop hex system, dozens of scenarios to unlock for under ten bucks. 3 difficulty levels mean you can play around or go hard.

There are four main units: Musketmen, Riflemen, Cavalry (really useful mainly as scouts/dragoons, although cavalry charges are allowed) and powerful artillery.

The designers have paid serious attention to the effects of battlefield-level terrain. Hills, broken ground, ditches, rivers, buildings, trees, entrenchments, fences and walls all present their own problems and opportunities for victory.

For the history buff the scenarios reflecting real-world battles will be fascinating. This isn't just a fun game, it's another way of thinking about the tactical problems of the War Against Slavery

Major Tool

Addition of flank attack bonus is great,
Now for the ability of if you don't get your chaps killed, you get experience and can eventually turn them into veterans.
