Our take on Mosby's Confederacy
The premise presents a Civil War command role, but its scope is deliberately narrow: small bands, local towns, and individual soldiers replace sweeping army operations. Randomized missions add variation, while the fixed roster for each battle makes losses and selection matter within the campaign.
What is Mosby's Confederacy?
Mosby's Confederacy places command of small Confederate bands under John Singleton Mosby rather than vast armies.
The campaign combines turn-based management with real-time tactical missions focused on reconnaissance, stealth, ambushes, supply raids, and harassment. Soldiers come from local towns and develop through battlefield experience into scouts, cavalry, rangers, or riflemen, with individual attributes and specializations. Town support affects unit availability, while investments can establish field hospitals, stables, and munitions caches. Casualties and other interactions change regional conditions. Missions, objectives, enemy concentrations, starting veterans, and raw recruits are randomized, requiring different plans across campaigns. Commanders choose the units for each mission and cannot replace them through in-battle spawning buildings. Campaign accomplishments receive a final report.
