Funnily enough the Confederates were very lucky in 1st Bull Run Many of the Rebel regiments were experienced , having fought in South America as mercenaries However , they were used to bayonet charging peasants They charged into a Union Line and was immediately shattered from a single volley
@@AverageJoe___ He has no source because it isn't true. The Confederate regiments at First Manassas were state militia regiments or recently formed volunteer units. A number of them were led by officers who'd experienced fighting in the Mexican War around 13-15 years earlier. This was true for many of the regiments on the Union side as well, as most of the US Army's regular units were still deployed in the Western Territories against the myriad Indian nations. That being said, a number of wealthy Confederates fled to South America after the war, mostly to the Kingdom of Brazil, where slavery was still legal.
For those who don't know, "The Bluecoats" is a Belgian comic that features two union soldiers, the ones on the menu screen, having shenanigans through the theatres of the civil war. I never imagined that someone would want to make a game based on it, especially a risk tbs that features nothing from the original comics...
this is like if someone make a Tintin game with elements of a cover shooter like Gears of War, and the game is consisted of 80% shooting, 20% puzzle solving
Fun fact tunique bleu (blue coat) is a very famous belgian comic about the US civil war that has been going on since the 60's without interruption and will probably outlast us all. So if you want to read a somewhat accurate description of the New York riot with so-so historical description I'm sure you can pirate it.
Having played the original years ago It's amazing how little they chose to add or embellish. The original game had just enough content to be a fun 2 player boardgame you could play with a friend for 15 minutes, but not much else. This version had decades of advancement in the industry to draw from and all they did was add one new mechanic with the FPS segments.
Fun fact: the rifle you see in the fps mode is an actual rifle. Obviously this one is a cartoonified version but it is a semi-accurate depiction of the Spencer rifle. It's an early lever action that required you to manually cock the hammer after every shot unlike the Henry and its successors which used the bolt to cock the hammer for you. As shown in the game, rounds are loaded through the butt of the stock.
Holy cow dude, I miss that game, I literally haven't had any interaction with that game since I played it back then. My cloudy young teen nostalgic memory makes me want to play it again, but I'm sure if I did, I'd develop different opinions.

I'm pleased to see 30 years later they changed a lot of stuff but did nothing to make the game fun, true to the Amiga classic. Anyway you're not a real N&S OG unless the first thing you do is select the cannon, hit the fire button and blow yourself up.
There is something which is similar to a read dead extraction shooter, it's called "Hunt: Showdown", tho it's technically more of a undead nightmare extraction shooter since it has zombies and stuff
I have no idea why, but this dude yellin “I’m union, I’m union” while blasting ppl point blank in the face has had me laughing for literal days. I also say “he’s 1 horse” for anyone actin a fool now
In the original Amiga fort and train levels were crappy side scrollers, iirc you had to reach the end to swap flags/steal the gold, and instead of a rifle you had a kinfe you could throw and maybe punching? Anyway, not fun.
@@GanymedeXD I'm strictly talking about train/fort side scrolling levels, which had spotty controls and weren't fun even for '89. We had fun with the game, but those levels were something we endured to get back to the goofy battles.
Yes! We played this a heck of a lot on NES. We figured out you could spread out the ground troops using the rock on the battlefield. And the sleeping Mexican that would randomly wake up and kill a unit.
Wow nice ! C'est "Les Tuniques Bleues" ! It's "The Bluecoats", a bandes dessinées (franco-belgian comics books) from my childhood. I didn't know it was a game ! I'll propably buy it now :D and Ben Quadinaros as a profile pic rofl
Honestly not a terrible concept for a game, the idea of risk, with a bit of resource management like the gold, and more involved combat in the form on micro rts and fps segments.
The Bluecoats was such a fire comic and were a really good showing of the two types of soldiers in the civil war and don’t forget the disorder of it too.
For those who don't know "North and South" was originally a 1989 NES game based on the Belgian "Bluecoats" comic series. This appears to be a remake of that game.

The original was not only available on Amiga, but also on NES. 44:01: The fort battles back then were sidescrolling bits, where you had to get to the flag at the end of the fort without dying. I was so bad at that.
It was available on many platforms … nobody said Amiga only, I had it on Atari ST … but it was released on Amstrad, C64 as well … the NES version was the worst … released with a year delay.
The amount of nostalgia for me seeing this.. All the details.. where the indian and the mexican is standing.. the forts.. it all just looks so close to how i remember it.
This is the remake of a remake of the original game. The previous remake is unlisted on Steam and the only way to get it legallh is through key resellers.
Holy shit i just had a childhood memory unlocked by that thumbnail. I read so much of that comic, Tin Tin, Splint & Co (Spirou et Fantasio), and Vakse Viggo (Gaston Lagaffe). I have no idea why those comics were everywhere for me considering im not Belgian or French
Yeah … my childhood memory takes me back to 1989 when we lived the original game … that was cult … the comics were published throughout Europe …. not really a surprise they were available outside France/Belgium … imagine I know Superman and do not live in the US … or Asterix, Lucky Luke …
@@mttokrnk so I had no idea what “hoi4” was as your comment is the first time I have heard of it. I googled it and wow I can’t believe I have never seen that game!! Prolly cause I’m a PC gamer which is dumb cause of how many great games are PC only. When I was in the Navy we all took our laptops on deployment and played a ton of PC stuff-I remember playing a lot of ES4: Oblivion then. But once I finished my time in the service I drifted towards consoles simply cause it was much easier. Thank you for filling me in mate!!!!
Oboe out here acknowledging other global shit happened in the 1860’s besides the US Civil War… You cultured gentleman. Speaking of the 1860’s, oboe should definitely consider playing SGS Taiping. You know that other civil war. The civil war whose death toll goes into the tens of millions… The games a little janky but pretty fun :)
OMG!! I have the entire comic book series! Blutch and Chesterfield! I also have 'bluecoats North vs South' on Steam and of course played the original game on the old Amiga and NES. Great to see this coming back. get hold of their rail system and you win. Plunder gold.
Train fight for the NES port was such a pain. The defender player had tons of slightly weaker lives while you had one and had to do pinpoint inputs to survive through it. Kind of sad to see the sidescrolling bit of that replaced with a weak unity looking FPS.
I have played a remake (before this game came out) on the ios which makes this a remake of a remake, but this one is much better, I gotta get this game.
The NES version of this from back in the day, was interesting, but the battles were impossible to control with a regular controller vs. the AI. You could only control one unit at a time, the CPU controlled all three at once. Yes, they would have the infantry advancing at the same time as their cavalry was charging and the cannon firing. Your best bet was to ignore your own artillery, and try to do everything with your infantry. Unless you had a three-stack army, you didn't stand much of a chance. I see very little has changed. Sad. They could have done so much with the basic premise.
God I remember the Freelance Astronauts screwing around in North & South like over a decade ago, one of them put on this absurd 'Southern Gentleman' voice the whole time, too.
this is based on a belgian comicbook about the civil war its called the blauwbloezen over here loved the books (sorry for the bad spelling not my first language)
I remember playing the mobile version of this game a few years back, and it would seem this edition has changed basically nothing. It's a neat little title to mess around with for while, but there's basically no real depth to it at all.
Dumb question, but is the "I'm Union. I'm Union. I'm Union" and other kinda repeats in the FPS section a specific reference? To somebody else or another of his videos?
It's sad, most of the best Civil War games aren't Civil War games. The Empire Total War mod, Darkest of Days, Call of Juarez, we do have War of Rights.
I doubt there are any FPS elements in this. I played the NEs port of the original many times, and the PC version of this port many times with no FPS mode.. Edit: Apparently they changed the train raid, or maybe the train raid in the remake was always like this and I was remembering the NES game's train raid. The Natives and Mexicans wipe out random armies.
3:00 unless I really didn't pay attention in one class I don't remember a Union or Confederate Army passing through Texas and getting attacked by the Mexicans...
"Vey ineffective commanders here in Union land..." Don't feel bad, all of the actual Union Generals didn't do any better than you for most of the war. And even with U.S. Gant, he is only celebrated because he was the best of a long line of horrible commanders. In his time he was called "Butcher Grant" even by Northern newspapers because of the cataclysmic casualty count in most of the battles he won. Most of his victories were pyrrhic ones at best.
By the way, the Sergeant's name in the game is Sergeant Chesterfield, and they come from a comic book series called "The Bluecoats" based on the American Civil War.
*First Battle*
"Wait we lost? I thought we had more!"
oboe roleplaying as a Union General during First Bull Run is pretty cathartic.
Funnily enough the Confederates were very lucky in 1st Bull Run
Many of the Rebel regiments were experienced , having fought in South America as mercenaries
However , they were used to bayonet charging peasants

It was North & South … originally on Amiga & ST the NES version came a year later!
It's sad, most of the best Civil War games aren't Civil War games.
The Empire Total War mod, Darkest of Days, Call of Juarez, we do have War of Rights.
But there are also "Ultimate General: Gettysburg" and "Ultimate General: Civil War", which is probably the best Civil War tactical game.
Elite cavalry strats
They look like characters from Mortadelo y Filemón a famous Spanish slapstick comedy comic book series
They are Belgium comic characters … from the North & South comics … do not remember French name. The 1989 game is cult!
I doubt there are any FPS elements in this. I played the NEs port of the original many times, and the PC version of this port many times with no FPS mode..
Edit: Apparently they changed the train raid, or maybe the train raid in the remake was always like this and I was remembering the NES game's train raid. The Natives and Mexicans wipe out random armies.
The Garfield Show: Civil War
when he said "amiga" i got flashbacks of the sabrina comics
Man, I used to read that comic. 15 years ago.
3:00 unless I really didn't pay attention in one class I don't remember a Union or Confederate Army passing through Texas and getting attacked by the Mexicans...
As a Frenchman I have several Tuniques Bleues (bluecoats) comics
Is it on steam?
OMG i remember a youtuber called figghen played this like five years ago and I loved to watch it and you playing this brings back memories 😌
5 years? 🤣🤣🤣 its from 1989 … that brings back memories of 35 years.
@@GanymedeXD wdym 35 years. I’m talking about a UA-camr
This was my favorite back in 2014. I had a weird cracked version I think. Fun game.
My brother and I used to play an NES version on an Emulator way back in the day
Am I imagining it or is the Confederate soldier black? That would be confusing for many reasons.
hell yeha, the blue coats, I love that comic.
"Vey ineffective commanders here in Union land..."
Don't feel bad, all of the actual Union Generals didn't do any better than you for most of the war. And even with U.S. Gant, he is only celebrated because he was the best of a long line of horrible commanders. In his time he was called "Butcher Grant" even by Northern newspapers because of the cataclysmic casualty count in most of the battles he won. Most of his victories were pyrrhic ones at best.
By the way, the Sergeant's name in the game is Sergeant Chesterfield, and they come from a comic book series called "The Bluecoats" based on the American Civil War.

How many times can you say Union in one video?
oh i loved this as a kid. My first "pc" was an Amiga 500
Why does it have an Asterix art style?
I smell Flippingdingdong

I love the original game of North and South! Had no idea they made a remake!
This is actually a remake of a classic amiga game with this same title.
Amiga & Atari ST!
