Description

Dixie: Shiloh is a tactical battle game that drops you into the midst of the American Civil War, specifically the Battle of Shiloh. Designed by Tom Dalgliesh and first published in 1994, this game is easy to learn and can be played by two players in about 60 minutes. What makes Dixie: Shiloh interesting is its unique blend of game mechanics, including area majority, area movement, dice rolling, hand management, and secret unit deployment. This combination creates a thrilling experience where you need to strategically manage your units and make tactical decisions to outmaneuver your opponent. In Dixie: Shiloh, the table is divided into three battle line areas for each player, and units are deployed face down into these areas. Each turn, units can either move or fire, and combat is resolved by rolling dice, with hits occurring when the roll is less than or equal to the unit's firepower. The game continues until one side occupies two of the opponent's battle line areas unopposed. With its simple rules and deep gameplay, Dixie: Shiloh is a great option for fans of wargames and the American Civil War. The game's collectible components and historical artwork add to its charm, making it a must-try for anyone looking for a fun and challenging board game experience.
