Ultimate General: Civil War leaves early access

Game-Labs' strategy game Ultimate General: Civil War has been in early access for a while now, but fans of the game and its predecessor, Ultimate General: Gettysburg, will be pleased to know that the developer has announced the full release for the game.

For those who don't know much about the game, the announcement prepares you a little: "Ultimate General: Civil War allows you to relive the American Civil War 1861-1865 as either a Union or Confederate General in a long and exciting campaign. You will gradually progress through key battles of the American Civil War and expand your forces from a small division to a grand army of multiple Corps. Utilizing a wide range of choices, you may choose the best armament and officers for your units and organize your army into Corps, Divisions, and Brigades with extreme detail."

On top of the campaign you can also fight standalone battles as well, should you so wish, including the Battle of Stones River, Gettysburg, Cold Harbor, and more.

"The historical battles are accurately portraying the historical facts and can be a handy learning tool for everyone interested in the American Civil War. Finally, there are also several exciting Custom Battles and their number is going to be enriched in future patches," the announcement continues.

You can find the game on Steam for £22.99 right now. Were you playing it in early access, or is this your first time on the battlefield?
