Summary
Battles of 1750-1865 puts three classic strategy games from developer Ageod into one box.
First up is Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815, the sequel to the successful strategy PC game Birth of America. This historically accurate battle strategy game allows players to experience wars in North America between the years of 1750 and 1815.
Spanning a period of 65 years, the game enables players to re-enact many significant battles that influenced North American history. Battle strategy fans can re-live the cleverly thought out tactics of Dunmore's War (1773-1774), experience the Indian–British allegiance of The Battle of Fallen Timbers (1791-1794) and ensure all cities are successfully conquered in The Battle of New Orleans (1815).
In American Civil War players are military and political leaders trying to lead the troops of their nations (armies and fleets) to victory, in the midst of some of the toughest operations during those five years of wild campaigning throughout a divided nation. Advanced scenarios allow recreation of some yearly and/or theatre campaigns, and there is of course the complete Grand Campaign covering the whole war.
Finally, World War One allows players to command the armies and battleship fleets from one of eight major nations including Great Britain, Germany and Russia, as they try to ensure victory and restore peace in Europe during the Great War.
Commanding from the Prime Minister’s office, players must manage troops, coordinate strategic movements with allies, attack enemies, select generals, engage in worldwide diplomacy, negotiate with the national parliament or support technological research. Playing as the Lord Kitchener or Sir Winston Churchill, the strategy may involve the need to relieve pressure on the Western front and invade the Turkish Straits to open sea access to Russian allies. However it is crucial that such a move does not leave other areas undefended, as Britain’s main rival Germany expands its army and naval fleet.
