In the next part of their flagship series, the creators of TalonSoft remain committed to the theme of the Civil War. In this version we can recreate the events that took place in September 1862 on the Antietam River. It was the bloodiest day in the history of the United States.

In the fifth part of their flagship Battleground series, creators from TalonSoft remain at the popular - especially overseas - theme of the Civil War. In this part of the cycle, we can take part in the next battle on the Antietam River, which is important for the Confederates' competition with the EU.

The battle took place on 17 September 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. Commanded by General Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy army was led by George B. McClellana to the Union's troops. A total of 23,000 soldiers died over Antietam in one day of fighting, and that was the bloodiest day in the history of the United States.
