Description
On to Richmond II: The Union Strikes South is a deep dive into the American Civil War, where you'll take on the role of a Union commander trying to outmaneuver the Confederacy. This game is not for the faint of heart, with complex rules that'll take some time to learn, but the payoff is worth it. With a hexagon grid and variable phase order, every turn is a challenge, and you'll need to think strategically to come out on top. Designed by Joseph M. Balkoski, Ed Beach, and Chris Withers, this 2023 release is a must-play for wargame enthusiasts and history buffs. Whether you're playing solo or with a friend, be prepared to spend anywhere from an hour to 20 hours immersed in the world of 19th-century warfare, making tough decisions and adapting to changing circumstances.
