The game uses three maps to cover the war’s major theaters of operation. Together, they span an area from Galveston, Texas, to St. Joseph, Missouri, and from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Jacksonville, Florida.

Every game turn is divided into two player turns. During these turns, one player or the other may move ground and naval combat units on the map and attack the opposing force.
War Between The States can be played as a huge campaign using all three maps, simulating the entire war from beginning to end. This full campaign requires hundreds of man-hours, making it an extensive undertaking for players seeking a detailed historical game experience.
