Description

A Barbarous Ground: The Battle of Germantown, 1777 is a wargame that drops you into the midst of one of the most pivotal battles of the American Revolutionary War. Designed by Paul Rohrbaugh and published in 2013, this game is perfect for 1 to 2 players who are familiar with board games and looking for a challenge. The game's normal complexity rules make it easy to learn, but the simulation of the battle itself is where the real excitement lies. You'll take on the role of either the Continental Army under General George Washington or the British Army under Lord Cornwallis, navigating the foggy and smoke-filled crossroads village of Germantown. As you play, you'll issue orders to your formations and units, using a combination of dice rolling and hexagon grid movement to outmaneuver your opponent. Combat is intense, with both fire and melee playing a crucial role, and morale is a key factor in determining the outcome of the game. With scenarios that cover the morning's surprise attack, the afternoon's bloody climax, and the full day-long battle, you'll have plenty of opportunities to test your strategic skills. Whether you're playing solo or against an opponent, A Barbarous Ground offers a thrilling and immersive experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat for hours - approximately 2.5 to 3 hours for the shorter scenarios, and 6+ hours for the full battle scenario.
