Campaign 1776.

I'm thinking of buying this game. Are there any plans to upgrade beyond Version 4.01? GMcClellan's post in Favorite WDS game got me interested. Any thoughts about this game would be appreciated.

It's part of my American heritage, I hope it doesn't fade away either. Hoping it gets continued support like it deserves.

I've owned 1776 for a while and enjoy playing the included scenarios as well as researching engagements, tweaking OOBs, and creating both historical and custom scenarios. I also am hopeful that all of the games in the EAW series are upgraded as I find them fun to play.

“Campaign 1776” was my first JT title, purchased via hps about 20 years ago and I still play it.. There’s a lot to like if your looking for a very detailed “tactical” level game of this period ( maybe the only one? ) , plenty of scenarios, good campaign, very good editors. The AI is decent for single player. Good multiplayer, check out Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC) for multiplay and even more download scenarios

Good luck with the game! The games main manual is thorough and worth reading. I also suggest looking at “The Beginners Guide to Campaign 1776” . Find it at the Training center of the Colonial Campaigns Club (link above). This details British and American unit types, weapons , tactics, etc. Then write us an AAR of your experience!

248th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington & Concord is today. An historic moment for many of us gamers.
