""I think there are two types of people who would be entranced by this game: those who are fascinated with this period of history, and those who think the specific strategic challenge of fighting in a large area with only a few troops is interesting. "" - Birth of America Review
""Wouldn't
it be nice though if for once we had a turn-based strategy game that
was not only complex and deep but also looked great? Well maybe we can
have it all as Birth of America not only plays a great game but also
has a visual style that few in the genre can even come close to."" - Birth of America
