"A detailed examination of tactical warfare from the Mexican War (1846) to the Russo-Japanese War (1905), this allowed the gamer to "dervishly" beat up on Fuzzy-Wuzzies to his heart's content.With a scenario editor that was relatively easy to use, a plethora of scenarios have become available over the Internet covering the obscure and not-so-obscure battles of the 19th Century. Remember, a repeating rifle generally beats a bow and arrow, unless one grows too ambitious ... My personal feeling is that the scenarios were in fact too generic, and I was never able to discern in game terms the basic advantage of the needle-gun in the Franco-Prussian War or why certain rifle advances occurred in certain times. But if the history was a little weak, the game value was pretty strong." [excerpt from M. Evan Brooks' Homepage]
