But wasn't it just a cheap, minor xbox game that sold moderate numbers?
Not exactly Halo or GTA or even Command and Conquer.
I have no idea (though the cover shown is for PC, so it wasn't xbox-exclusive), but I cannot think of another reason to pay for the rights to the intellectual property. I don't recall ever hearing about the game before.

I'd prefer to see that "Stalin versus the Martians" game made into a movie, though.

I am glad to see the Texian Empire viciously conquering the neighboring states.  Finally we can implement a final solution to the Okie and Arky problem.

This will bring recognition to actual secession in America. I am cautiously looking forward to this.

You do realize this is supposed to be a dystopia right?

It sure felt dystopia.  The Game looked like it would be like Panzer General (not exactly a hardcore game) but it wasn't even that complex.  The only amusing thing is that one of the factions has a tank named after Braxton Bragg (all the special equipment has Civil war name, so yes there was a Grant tank and a Lee and a Stuart despite the redundancy).
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Were the rights for a Barbwire sequel/remake too expensive? Second Civil War after all...

Pamela Anderson probably has a deal that says she would have to appear nude in it.

Or Casablanca's ghost comes by and throttles anybody who even thinks about such a thing.

This game produced by that Russian clown who was saying the US would break up in another 2 years?
PDH!

Short but sweet. Not as...beardy and time consuming as Panzer General.
Beardy??
