Description
Get ready to immerse yourself in the American Civil War with Battles & Leaders, a game of tactical level combat that lets you recreate brigade size engagements from 1861 to 1865. With accurate and playable rules, you'll experience the thrill of formations, charges, melee, and more, all while taking into account the unique characteristics of over twenty different weapons types. From the standard rifled musket to the breach loading Whitworth rifle, every detail is considered to bring the era to life. Whether you're playing with 2 to 4 players, you'll be engaged for 60 to 180 minutes as you navigate historical situations like Little Round Top and Bloody Angle, or generic scenarios like meeting engagements and cavalry raids. With 509 counters, including terrain pieces, the game is full of depth and detail, but remains easy to play, making it perfect for those familiar with board games.
