Both SW and I have talked about this excellent ACW game from MadMinute Games: Take Command - 2nd Manassas. Here's what I wrote on the old forum:

This is a must for those who like historically accurate games and particularly American Civil War. It's terrain features are very accurate. See: http://www.madminutegames.com/MadMinuteBB/viewtopic.php?t=4480

There is no multiplayer feature as yet. But, you are gunna go right into the thick of it with an excellent feel for the confusion on the battlefield, trying to coordinate attacks etc. Amazon. com sells it. See: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000EVQTXM/ref=cm_cr_dp_pt/102-6599843-8797714?ie=UTF8&n=468642&s=videogames

Also, there is a demo (145 Mb) you can download. See: http://www.gamershell.com/download_13002.shtml Well worth a look.

Some YouTube displays of this game - not done by me! With music from "Gettysburg".

Imagine playing an EW mod of this game! The terrain in the game is known to be almost geographically accurate.

I have this game its brilliant, the creator Norb is working on a new game - hopefully with multi player. As for size of battle Massive - 80,000 to 100,000 men in some cases.
