Rebels & Redcoats: Volume I is a wargame that drops you right into the midst of the American Revolutionary War, with four pivotal battles to recreate: Bunker Hill, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. Designed by Christopher Cummins and first published in 1995, this game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but still offers a rich and immersive experience. The game mechanics, which include dice rolling and a hexagon grid, work together to simulate the grand tactics of the time period, with a simple move-fight-rally play sequence that accurately recreates the battlefield conditions.

With 440 counters, two large mapsheets, and exclusive rules for each battle, Rebels & Redcoats: Volume I offers a comprehensive and engaging experience for two players, with a playtime of around 90 minutes. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a fun and strategic game, Rebels & Redcoats: Volume I is a great choice, offering a unique blend of historical accuracy and exciting gameplay.
