The best "lose-while-winning" simulator on Steam. Only in "UG" can you defeat the enemy's entire army and still lose a battle because the devs decided to script every mission to be "historically accurate" or something.

Highly advanced Fochian thought process ...attackattackattack... rendered moot even when you have beaten P.G.T. Beauregard's entire command with the bayonet, driven him from the field, and about to do the same to A.S. Johnston because the game yells at you to retreat. Then you lose the whole mission because 5 guys and a horse retreated towards a suddenly important, arbitrary piece of dirt. Apparently how good you are at playing the game at exploiting the AI's stupidity is unimportant.

If you want to win you'd better have a Civil War atlas available so you can follow along with the mapmaker's scripting.

10,000 men with Colt M1855s costs $900,000 too. Give six-shooter division max melee and morale buffs to synergize with the short range of the repeating rifle. Hide repeater rifle division innawoods. Watch entire Confederacy die at treeline. Worth.
