  1. Thanks for keeping these games alive. I first played Civil War Battle Set on a Tandy 1000 in the 80’s. I still enjoy playing it today. It’s well-balanced and perfect for a civil war geek like me.

  2. Love the Civil War games. How can I get it to play on my Windows 7 computer? This would be a pefect game app for the ipad, is there any change that will ever happen?

    1. You can use DOSBox to run the game on Windows 7. I’ve been working in fits and starts on writing a successor to the game for years, but it may be years more before I get it right.
