Civil War OnLine

Civil War OnLine (CWOL) is a military, economic, and political simulation of the American Civil War with both wargaming and roleplaying aspects.

The software suite for CWOL is completing a multi-year re-engineering effort. The land warfare module was completed in 2010 and validated. The current version of CWOL features the land warfare component, Rolling of the Drums, railroad movement, and riverine operations. Work proceeds on the naval module in 2013 to be followed by the economic and foreign policy modules. The 2013 iteration of CWOL is now taking applications. Go to: CWOL registration to register to play.

Individuals who are interested in participating in CWOL and have not attended the introductory training should proceed to this site to enroll in the CWOL Academy. Veterans from the SAS version of CWOL are encouraged to enroll in the CWOL Academy as well.
