Strategic Command: American Civil War

1863 THE EAGLE AND THE EMPIRE

While the United States was divided by Civil War, French Emperor Napoleon III saw an opportunity to build his own influence in the Americas, launching an invasion of Mexico. In this alternate history campaign, President Lincoln’s tacit support for the Mexican Republicans leads to French recognition of the Confederacy and a declaration of war against the United States. With battles raging from Gettysburg to Mexico City, will the Union be able to reclaim the initiative, or will French intervention be the key to Confederate victory in this expanded conflict?

For the first time in the series’ history, Strategic Command will be taking you to the 19th century battlefields of the American Civil War. You will control the armies, research, production and diplomatic policy of either the Union or the Confederacy during a time of innovation and dramatic battles.
