A FIREBELL IN THE NIGHT - Brigade Level Miniature Rules for the American Civil War

1-200340

Brigade Level Miniature Rules for ACW developed over several years in conjunction with wargamers, re-enactors, and ACW historians. Practically any basing system can be used. Distances listed on the charts for both 15mm and smaller figures and for 25-28mm figures.

Innovative movement and redeployment system confronts the commander with the challenge of using European-style formations in the difficult North American terrain. Realistic casualty tracking system creates fog of war and a clean tabletop free of visually intrusive game markers that detract from the dioramic effect. Realistic fatigue tracking system monitors fighting strengths, putting premium on fresh units from reserves or by resting and reforming front-line units.

Easily implemented command system emphasizes the relationship between divisional
commanders and their brigadiers. Includes ratings for every general that fought in the ACW -- over 1,000 entries!

Special deck of 50 'crisis cards' interjects drama and uncertainty to the battlefield. The critical effect of supply issues on the battlefield is dealt with cleanly and effectively.

Includes an extensively researched scenario to get you started -- Richmond Imperiled: The Battle of Seven Pines, 1862. Continuing online support available.
