AFrom 1861 to 1865, the United States was at war with itself.
The battles of the American Civil War have taken a place in the
fabric of American history. And here is your chance to recreate
15 of those Civil War Battles.
Battle Cry elegantly and simply recreates the Civil War experience.
The gameboard can be setup with woods, hills, houses, and other
features to recreate the specific terrain of the battle. The game
system involves using cards to issue orders to specific units
on the board. Combat dice decide the outcome of an attack, modified
for terrain, distance, and other factors. Whenever a unit is completely
destroyed, the victor gets the flag from that unit. Collect six
flags first and win the battle.There are also rules for campaign
play.
