Where it came from
Canadian Civil War was released in 1977 by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI) as part of their Minigame series, a collection of smaller, budget-friendly titles packaged in plastic bags rather than traditional boxes. Designed by James F. Dunnigan, the game presents a speculative historical scenario set in the late 20th century, exploring the geopolitical tensions and potential for internal fracturing within the Canadian federation. It reflects the period's broader academic and political interest in regionalism and Quebecois sovereignty.
The game employs the classic hex-and-counter wargame mechanics that defined the SPI house style, focusing on regional control and military logistics across the Canadian provinces. Like many of Dunnigan’s designs from this era, it prioritized analytical depth and a realistic simulation of hypothetical conflict over aesthetic flourish. While it occupies a niche place in wargaming history, it remains a notable example of the publisher’s willingness to turn contemporary political anxieties into structured tactical exercises.
