STRATEGY AND TACTICS: Use the terrain to your advantage: Keep vulnerable units behind ridges or hide them in the trees. Protect vital mountain passes and river crossings.
Use your artillery for long range fire support or risk placing them near the enemy to use murderous canister shot. Pixel Soldiers Bull Run now has rifled and smoothbore cannon.
Place your cavalry on the flanks or keep them in reserve for a devastating counter attack.
Use your various Infantry units well. Skirmishers are good at delaying and disrupting enemy attacks or guarding the flanks. Use riflemen to give accurate fire support, whereas those armed with smoothbore muskets are best suited for close range gritty fighting.
Will you push your troops forward and seize the initiative? Or will you set up a defensive line, await reinforcements and let the enemy come to you?
These and many more questions you will need to ask yourself. There are many ways to win the game.

I love these games I was wondering though are you going to add more civil war battles and maybe ww2 at one point dday would be cool
★★★★★WYATT Prater· Mar 17, 2017
Like o said on Gettysburg, it would be nice to fight the entire civil war Instead of just the battle, but again love the game
★★★★★Hannah Arnold· Dec 22, 2015
Very enjoyable game play I really enjoy the pixel soldier games, both this and Waterloo. Thank you for releasing such great games :)

Combat doesn't feel realistic at all; units can route after jus losing 100 guys while confederate regulars won't even route at all even if they lose 90% of their manpower melee and morale, the two greatest stats in any PS game are given to confederate making them busted; even a group of 100 skirmishers somehow is capable of routing a full regiment of militia with muskets some of the missions are just unrealistic, I've found just bum rushing the objective usually works a lot of the time
