W.R. Hutsell’s EGA Civil War Battleset is a classic tactical-level wargame simulation of many battles of the American Civil War. It is available for FREE DOWNLOAD with the blessings of Mr. W.R. Hutsell. This game was written for MS-DOS, a predecessor to Microsoft Windows, as such, it takes a few moments of time to configure the application to run correctly.
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.
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? Mayor Jon Hickman Ely NV. 89301
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.

Is the original ASCII format still available? Oddly I preferred it over the EGA version.
Hi Erik! I don’t have a copy of the original ASCII game. Sorry. 🙁 If I happen to get it, I’ll let you know.
Any chance this game is still around anywhere?
Yes, I’ve just fixed the download links.
Thank you very much for that!
