It's nice to see some companies interested in WW1, it and Korea get neglected big time and the civil war is too touchy a subject to do in a game. I was watching a video on youtube and an airship got shot down and looked amazing as it Hindenburg'd into the ground. It landed right on the town everyone was fighting in and wiped it out.
I think the bigger issue with the Civil War is the technology of the time period. EA cheesed the history a bit with WWI to appeal to gamers that are used to modern weapons but I think that's harder to do with the 1860's. There is a kickstarter funded Civil War game called War of Rights coming out sometime soon. It looks like they're really trying to make it look and feel historically accurate and it looks pretty interesting!
