About the game
What you do in a play session
Here's the deal: you'll manage your hand of cards, which dictate the orders and actions for your units (infantry, cavalry, and artillery), and you'll be rolling dice to determine combat outcomes. The board is modular, so each game can have a different setup, and the miniatures add a cool layer of immersion. It's a game that really simulates the tension and strategy of the conflict without being overly complex to learn. Perfect for history buffs and tactical thinkers alike.
This 150th Anniversary edition of the Civil War game brings everything you need to start the battle. It's an expanded and updated version of the original Battle Cry, promising more strategy and scenarios. If you want to experience the thrill of commanding an army and changing the course of history (or at least of a battle!), this game is for you. Prepare for the charge and may the best general win!
