Octagon to push Civil War

Octagon Entertainment has agreed to represent Dallas-based Walker Boys Studio and is seeking a worldwide publisher for Civil War: War Between the States, the developer's upcoming real-time strategy game. As its title suggests, the game is based on the American Civil War, and it will let players assume control of the armies of either the North or the South.

The game will include more than 70 unique units, realistic 3D environments, and a variety of single- and multiplayer options. Players can reenact seven of the most famous battles from the Civil War, or they can choose to play through the war their own way from the very beginning. In addition to basic infantry units, the game will feature cavalry, artillery, and both transport and military ships.
