The battlefield is shown from an overhead perspective, with friendly and opposing forces represented by icons. Highlighting a unit displays information about it, while order icons on the right side of the screen provide available commands. Additional icons can appear to support more detailed orders.

Released in 1985, Johnny Reb II was developed by Choice Software and M.C. Lothlorien Ltd and published by M.C. Lothlorien. It was available for Amstrad CPC, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
