Game Description
In the war between the North and South, you're on the side of chaos in this Civil War sim. History Channel Civil War: Secret Mission sends you into battle with one goal: disrupt the Northern and Southern armies in any way possible. Join fabled troublemaking outfits including Mosby's Rangers, Sheriden's Scouts, or Grant's Secret Service. Take orders from some of history's greatest generals, including Robert E.

Wield weapons like pepperbox revolvers and coffee mill guns, rely on scouts, attack from the sea, and more!
