Description

Civil War On-line (CWOL) is a PBEM of the American Civil War fought at
different levels. As well as the land war the game covers the naval,
political, diplomatic and trade aspects of the conflict.
I've only ever taken part in the land war, the Shot and Shell module, but
that is pretty hectic. As an officer in the USA or CSA armies you get to
command infantry and cavalry regiments and artillery batteries. If you get
promoted then you get to command other players as well.

Weapon types, unit formations, supply, morale and fatigue are all included
in the game.

There are usually 2 turns per week covering both strategic and tactical
moves

There are no costs involved in playing the game and the software is free.
Occasionally there is a request for voluntary donations to cover the cost of
the server but that is upto the individual.

The last game had about 50 players and ended in a CSA victory.

The next game starts in October 2002
