Matrix Games

From the creators of Crown of Glory come an epic tale of North Vs. South. By combining area movement on the grand scale with optional hex based tactical battles when they occur, Forge of Freedom provides something for every strategy gamer. Control economic development, political development with governors and foreign nations, and use your military to win the bloodiest war in US history.

Gamer's Info Review
Forge of Freedom appears to do a tremendous job of appeasing the history buff while also providing an opportunity for the rest of us to learn a bit. However, the game never obsesses over detail and emphasizes playability and customization of game experience to suit each person's desire for realism.

Gamesquad.com Review
9 / 10 - Forge of Freedom is the best and most complete game of the American Civil War on the market.

Review of "Forge of Freedom" on GamersInfo.net
On the whole, I was pleased with playing the game as it encompassed more then just a single battle but the whole aspect of the war in general.

Armchair General (September 2007 issue)
Forge of Freedom re-creates in abundant detail the strategic challenges the Union and the Confederacy faced, including the issues of weapons development, economic management, state politics and elections, and the possibility of international intervention. With so many factors to consider, players’ management skills are thoroughly tested. However, Civil War buffs in particular will appreciate the comprehensiveness of this strategy game of the War Between the States.
