About this game

Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run is a tactical turn based strategy game where you will command either the Union or Confederate armies during the first year of the American Civil War in 1861.

You will storm the mountain passes of West Virginia, make amphibious assaults along the Potomac River and fight pitched battles across a 19th century North America. Easy to play and difficult to master, Pixel Soldiers is a game for wargamers and casual gamers alike.

This game is set almost 50 years in the future from the previous Pixel Soldiers game (Pixel Soldiers: Waterloo).

BATTLES
Pixel Soldiers: Bull Run includes Union and Confederate campaigns, with historical scenarios leading up to the Battle of First Manassas (Bull Run) in the east, and Wilson's Creek in the west...

*Philippi

*Rich Mountain

*Mathias Point

*Blackburn's Ford

*Matthews Hill

*Henry Hill

*Wilson's Creek

*A bunch of other maps to play in sandbox mode


FEATURES:
*Command your armies with ease.

*Difficult to master in-depth strategy.

*Play against an intelligent AI opponent or another player on the same device.

*Morale system: Units that take casualties may go into disorder or break and run depending on their morale.

*Many different types of units and weapons, complete with individual uniforms.

*Command gunboats and troop ships along the Potomac River.


STRATEGY AND TACTICS:
Use the terrain to your advantage: Keep vulnerable units behind ridges or hide them in the trees. Protect vital mountain passes and river crossings.

Use your artillery for long range fire support or risk placing them near the enemy to use murderous canister shot. Pixel Soldiers Bull Run now has rifled and smoothbore cannon.

Place your cavalry on the flanks or keep them in reserve for a devastating counter attack.

Use your various Infantry units well. Skirmishers are good at delaying and disrupting enemy attacks or guarding the flanks. Use riflemen to give accurate fire support, whereas those armed with smoothbore muskets are best suited for close range gritty fighting.

Will you push your troops forward and seize the initiative? Or will you set up a defensive line, await reinforcements and let the enemy come to you?

These and many more questions you will need to ask yourself. There are many ways to win the game.
