April 12, 1862: James Andrews and his Union raiders pulled off the impossible and stole “The General” from under the noses of 3,000+ Confederate troops!

Your mission: Cut telegraph wires, burn bridges, and damage tracks to disrupt communications between Atlanta & Chattanooga. Oh, and of course, avoid being caught at ALL costs! Can you change the course of the American Civil War?

Introducing Wes Crawford’s Engine Thieves—the latest release in Compass Games’ Golden Age Collection.

In this riveting railway adventure, you’ll hop on board for a historic train heist. As the Raiders player, you must try to succeed where the original raiders failed. Your risky mission will be to cut telegraph wires, burn railroad bridges, damage track, sever communications, and generally cause an abundance of chaos before meeting up with General Mitchel in Bridgeport to kick off the advance on Chattanooga.

Sounds easy enough, right? Well, did we mention that this is a covert mission? You’ll be tearing up the tracks all while trying to keep alarm bells from ringing up and down the East coast.

Meanwhile, in the two-player mode, the Confederate player’s job is to pursue you and your fellow engine thieves by any means necessary—chasing you down on foot, horseback, by pole car, and by train!
