Custer's Last Command

Custer's Last Command is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Incredible Simulations and published by Incredible Simulations originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on DOS.

It was hot that day. With a temperature approaching 100 degrees, the thin blue line of cavalrymen moved in a northwesterly direction. Fresh from a forced night march, they were tired, but the sense of impending battle ignited a combination of fear and excitement that so often accompanies men in combat. They were confident. Led by the golden-haired 'boy general,' the man who never sounded a retreat, their victory was certain. With the sun passing noon, the Seventh Cavalry and George Armstrong Custer advanced toward their rendezvous with glory...and death. And the rest you know, of course. Custer and his force were absolutely annihilated by the Sioux.

Custer's Last Stand does what it sets out to do: simulate this desperate battle. However, alternative options for Custer's side allow you to create hypothetical scenarios in which you have a chance to win. Recreate the real battle... see if you can do better for Custer or worse for the Sioux! The game is a great simulation of this historical battle, with a nice and clean user interface. If you're interested in the history of the American West or war games set in battles unrelated to the World War, this game is a must-have.

A great first game from Incredible Simulations that foreshadows their later classics Defend The Alamo and Zulu War.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
