Ageod's American Civil War: The Blue and the Gray (AACW) is a historical operational turn-based strategy computer game (WEGO system) that places players at the head of the U.S. or CSA during the American Civil War (1861–1865).
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, while making political and economical/financial decisions throughout the game that affect the outcome.
Most of the individual years of campaign between 1861 and 1865 are playable via a separate scenario (to be refined during beta testing). Advanced scenarios will allow recreation of some yearly and/or theater campaigns, and there will be of course the complete Grand Campaign covering the whole war.
Virtual Programming published the Mac OS X version of the game on April 8, 2011.
Ageod's American Civil War received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
