Overview

Preserve the Union or break way as the Confederacy in the first expansion to The Armchair Historian's Fire & Maneuver. Recreate The War Between the States or pit America against Europe in radical matchups! American Civil War expansion for F&M introduces new unique factions, battle maps, scenarios, music, and campaigns of America's deadliest war.

Factions

Take command of two new factions: the United or Confederate States of America. Enlist 38 unique units including the famous Union Iron Brigade or the Confederate Louisiana Tigers. The two American nations can equip the breech-loading Sharps rifle even during the Glory Age (1853-1866), providing a unique challenge to their European counterparts.


The United States of America
The Union Army is a flexible and affordable faction featuring a variety of specialized troops drawn from all corners of their young nation, ranging from Custer’s rapid-firing cavalry brigade to the lethal U.S. Sharpshooters... but beware the difficulties of coordinating such a large, incohesive body of troops.

The Confederate States of America
The South prides itself on the offensive spirit of its soldiers, who, if led properly, can rout a superior enemy through audacious maneuvers, or disrupt his interior lines with rugged cavalry... but beware the limits which your economy places on the number of incohesive men you can field.
