Strategic Command: American Civil War - Concert of Europe

The year is 1848. Revolutions sweep across Europe, shattering Metternich’s Concert of Europe, the diplomatic balance that kept the continent at peace for a generation. Out of the chaos rise three giants of history: Napoleon III, Giuseppe Garibaldi, and Otto von Bismarck.

In the three decades that follow, these men will redraw the map of Europe. Driven by the unstoppable force of nationalism, backed by cunning diplomacy, they will lead their nations through a chain of wars, each victory unlocking the next great struggle, until Bismarck himself reshapes the old order at the Congress of Berlin in 1878.

Concert of Europe is the epic second expansion for Strategic Command: American Civil War, plunging you into a transformative era with five brand-new campaigns. From the frozen steppes of Crimea to the sun-baked hills of Italy, you will command armies, forge alliances, and test your strategic genius in an age where a single battle could change the fate of a continent.

THE CAMPAIGNS

1854 – Before the Unfallen Fort
British, French, and Ottoman forces land in the Crimea, aiming for the great Russian naval base at Sevastopol. The road ahead runs through the barren steppe, across the heights of Alma, and straight into the teeth of winter. Capture Sevastopol before Russia’s endless reinforcements — or the cold — break your army.

1859 – Listen Awhile Ye Nations
Napoleon III marches once more into Italy, seeking to shatter Austrian power with lightning war. But the dream of Risorgimento is spreading like wildfire, and your victory could ignite revolutions far beyond your control.

1860 – One Lustrous Aim
Giuseppe Garibaldi, hero of Rome, sets sail with a thousand volunteers to topple the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. France guards Rome, Austria eyes Venetia, and every move risks sparking a greater war. Can you unite Italy against impossible odds?

1866 – Whirlwind of Flame
Bismarck’s vision of a unified Germany will be forged in “blood and iron.” Prussia must crush Austria before Europe’s other powers can intervene, but Austrian allies lurk in every corner of Germany, and the Lion of Solferino stands ready to meet you in battle.

1877 – Feel Not the Red Rains Fall
Tsar Alexander II seizes his chance to strike at the Ottoman Empire. Cross rivers, storm fortresses, and endure the Balkan winter in a campaign to raise the Russian flag over Constantinople, before the British arrive to claim it for themselves.
