Description

Stonewall: The Battle of Kernstown is a classic wargame that drops you into the midst of the American Civil War. Designed by Mark Herman and first published in 1978, this game challenges two players to recreate the pivotal battle between Confederate and Union forces on March 23, 1862. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the action, using dice rolling and a hexagon grid to navigate the battlefield. As you play, you'll need to manage your units' morale and fatigue, all while trying to outmaneuver your opponent and score victory points. With its normal complexity level, this game is accessible to anyone familiar with board games, making it a great introduction to the world of wargaming. Will you emerge victorious as the Confederates or Union forces, or will your opponent outmaneuver you and claim the win?
