Take Command: 2nd Manassas

"Fortunately, unlike many contemporary strategy games, TC2M doesn't rely on its looks to compensate for shallow formulaic gameplay. This is a fresh-feeling game, full of drama, atmosphere and surprises. If you like your tactics titles realistic and don't mind having your Manassas whipped by a bayonet-sharp AI now and again, it's likely to be the best £20 you spend this year."

"Wargamers and Civil War buffs will love the easy-to-play, historically authentic Take Command: Second Manassas."

"Still one of the best tactical strategy games available, but not many changes from the first game to warrant a doubled price tag."
