The Bluecoats North vs South
SCORE: 80
Microids is letting gamers fight out the
Civil War. We are able to play the North or the South in The Bluecoats
North vs South. We can stop the Confederates from exercising their legal
state's right to secede from the Union. Or we can play the Confederates
and battle back the evil oppressive federal government.
The Bluecoats North vs South does not get down to the nitty-gritty
details. We do not have to manage troops, feed them, capture train lines
and all that. Terrain rarely plays a role in The Bluecoats North vs
South either. This game is like Risk. There are states that we can
capture for our side. The forts are the key to winning The Bluecoats
North vs South. Every fort you have will grant you a bag of gold at the
start of your turn. As long as you have two. Three bags of gold buys a
new battalion. So its pretty easy to see how to win in The Bluecoats
North vs South.
There are two mini games in The Bluecoats North vs South that must be
mastered for victory. First off is the army battle screens. We start
with troops on foot, horse soldiers, and two cannons. We decide which to
use to attack the enemy troops. We can win a battle, lose a battle,
watch the enemy retreat, or retreat ourselves.
The second mini game in The Bluecoats North vs South is attacking or
defending a fort. In this mini game we have a soldier with so many
hearts. There are multiple hiding places the enemies hide behind. Things
like barrels, wagons, and more. When they come out we can shoot them.
They fall away after being shot. We can hide with our soldier. If we get
shot more times than our hearts then we lose. If we get all of them we
win.
There is some violence in The Bluecoats North vs South. I did not see
any blood or gore though. Troops may lay on the ground for a few seconds
after they have died. The graphics in The Bluecoats North vs South are
soft, and alive with color. The music in The Bluecoats North vs South is
fantastic. I felt very patriotic playing The Bluecoats North vs South.
The strategy in The Bluecoats North vs South can be very interesting.
Games can be short or last a long time. Be careful of the Mexicans and
Indians in The Bluecoats North vs South. They will kill troops in
territories next to them. The light house is a good space to conquer
since every so often we will get reinforcements there.
