Our take on SGS We The People
Rather than centering only on battlefield engagements, the game folds regional income, trade routes, cards, diplomacy, weather, supplies, and foreign intervention into the war’s turn-by-turn structure. Its scope follows an extended historical campaign instead of a single decisive battle.
What is SGS We The People?
SGS We The People covers the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783 through two-week turns.
Players command either the British side or the American Colonies, managing regimental land units, naval squadrons, fortifications, supply units, headquarters, artillery, movement, and battles. Control of regions and trade routes generates income, which can fund cards, replacements, and mobile supplies. Cards affect reinforcements, economics, diplomacy, politics, popular support, and combat. Weather changes the map and affects military operations. The game includes a 1775 grand campaign lasting 208 turns, along with shorter scenarios covering Canada, Saratoga, the Clinton-Sullivan Campaign, and the Southern Campaign. French and Spanish intervention, diplomatic activity, and historical events influence the conflict.
