First Bull Run
Stand at the head of a hard-pressed regiment and command men into the smoke of the first major clash of the Civil War. Choose formations, order bayonet charges, seize enemy guns, and balance bravery with tactical caution.
Command the Line
Take immediate tactical decisions under the roar of muskets and the thunder of artillery. First Bull Run focuses on regimental leadership: issuing orders, managing officers, and making life-and-death calls that ripple across the battlefield.
Orders & Consequences
Manage twelve officers and eight companies across a dynamic battlefield. Deploy skirmishers, hold reserves, wheel to flank, or force a frontal push. Capture enemy batteries to swing a fight; handle dwindling ammunition, shattered morale, and the unpredictability of human courage.
Tactical Deployment Grid
A unique set-piece visualizes your battalion as a tactical grid. Hover or tap units to ping competence, assign a company to skirmish, or order the reserve forward. It’s a micro-HUD that blends narrative with strategic choice.
Portraits, Backstories & Regimental Pride
Choose a background — professional, political, German revolutionary, or Irish nationalist — and pick from 30 portraits. Build a regiment from one of 21 states and territory rosters. These choices influence competence, loyalty, and the way subordinates react when tested by fire.
