Battleground 4: Shiloh

About Battleground 4: Shiloh

A traditional hex-grid turn-based war game, Battleground 4: Shiloh uses the award winning Battleground play system to recreate one of the most momentous and bloody conflicts of the American Civil War. Considered to be the first step on the road toward disaster for the Confederate Army, this decisive battle covers the days of April 6 and 7, 1862, when the Confederates launched a surprise attack on the Union Army (commanded by Ulysses S. Grant). Players engage in battle through multiple scenarios to relive or change course of history. Miniatures represent troops and equipment, and brief sound and video clips help add to the feel of the game. Gameplay is handled on a turn-based manner during single and multiplayer games, with each side given a round to take actions before the other gets a chance to respond.
