Overview
Line of Muskets is designed to put you in the "seat"
of a general during the American Civil War. You have
to make the same strategic and tactical decisions that the
generals in the civilwar battles had to make. Keeping
a solid line of troops is good, concentrating your artillery
fire is good, ripping your opponents flank apart is good.
Of course, things like leaving a hole in your line is bad.
Letting your opponent outflank you is bad.
And in the multi-player games issues like communication amongst
your side becomes extremely important, just like in the real
Civil War.
If you want to learn more about how to play the game, reading
the strategy articles
is an excellent place to start, as are the rules and tutorial
(link below). And below if you click on any of the battle
previews you will get some very good tips on how to play a
particular battle.
