SteamAmerican Revolutionary War
Fight across the battlefields of the American War of Independence in American Revolutionary War, a detailed tactical wargame covering the major campaigns, battles, and skirmishes of the conflict between Britain, the American colonies, and their allies.
From Lexington and Concord to Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Camden, Cowpens, and Yorktown, American Revolutionary War places you in command of the forces that fought for control of the colonies. What began as a political crisis inside the British Empire became a continent-wide war involving regular armies, militia, Loyalists, German auxiliaries, Native allies, French forces, and frontier fighters.
Take command in American Revolutionary War, where detailed tactical maps and historically grounded orders of battle place you in control of armies fighting across cities, farms, forests, rivers, forts, and frontier settlements.

Command forces in the southern theater, where British hopes for Loyalist support led to a brutal war of maneuver, raids, and attrition across Georgia and the Carolinas.
