Hi guys, let's play some turn based strategy classic! Civil War Generals 2 is game released in 1997 from Impressions and Sierra On-Line. Featuring some well known battles from the American Civil War, the game is still considered one of the best from the era. For this premier episode, I'll be trying out 'Blackburn Ford' battle on the Confederate side. Still trying to get familiar with the game, sorry for less than optimal playing even by my humble standards, and also some hitches in video and sound are present.
