Edward Grabowski's The Blue and the Gray is a strategic simulation of the American Civil War. Players assume command of either the Union or Confederate forces, beginning in 1861 with a four-year timeframe to achieve victory.
Success hinges on the challenging management of military resources, which are generated for both sides based on historical data. Efficient allocation of these troops and weapons is critical for overcoming the opponent.
The game operates through two interconnected layers of play. A turn-based strategic map is used for moving armies and capturing enemy cities. When opposing forces engage, the conflict is resolved in a separate tactical battle, the outcome of which directly influences the broader campaign.
