It is currently available for free download with the blessings of Mr. W.R. Hutsell.

Thanks for keeping these games alive. I first played Civil War Battle Set on a Tandy 1000 in the 80′s. I still enjoy playing it today. It’s well-balanced and perfect for a civil war geek like me.
Love the Civil War games. How can I get it to play on my Windows 7 computer? This would be a pefect game app for the ipad, is there any change that will ever happen?
