Although Academy Games hasn’t updated their website to include this info, retailers have received sell sheets for the second game in the Birth of America series, 1775 – Rebellion, indicating a release date in November. There aren’t too many details about the game as of yet but if it’s anywhere near as addictive as 1812 – The Invasion of Canada (check out our review here), this is sure to be a must have for gamers of every stripe!
