Campaign 1776: The American Revolution |
Strategy and Wargaming Game from HPS Simulations
Turn-based strategy game set during the War of Independence. It is related to the classic Battleground games and the engine is based on that used in those games. The main single-player mode is the campaign mode and there are four campaigns to work though. You can also choose a stand-alone scenario. There is a strong two-player mode (via hotseating, serial/modem connection or PBEM). The mixes historically-based battles with some that are made up. The game is played on a zoomable hex-based map and turns are divided up into several phases. A 3D viewing mode is available, although it is of limited use in the heat of battle. Unit types include commanders, artillery, infantry and cavalry regiments (of up to a hundred men). The game's interface is effective and the graphics are functional.
