Units are regiments, batteries and companies of skirmishers. This is a quadrigame or set of four games, each featuring a full-size, 22x34\" game map and covering battles from 1862: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Antietam, 5am-9am, September 17th\u003cbr\u003e South Mountain, 9am-6pm, September 14th\u003cbr\u003e Mill Springs, 7am-12pm, January 17th\u003cbr\u003e Bloody Valverde, 10am-5pm, February 21st\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommand rules are simple and abstracted. There are no combat results tables. Combat and all checks are resolved using six-sided dice, in which results of 5-6 mark success, and 1-4 failure. Brigades activate via chit pull, with their constituent units moving and fighting individually. Stacking is limited to two units per hex. Massive 1.5” hexes allow two 3\/4” units to fit side by side… no information is obscured!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistinctions are made between formed and unformed infantry, deployed and limbered artillery, mounted and dismounted cavalry. Unit facing is not an element of play. Instead, unit deployment in adjacent hexes can trigger pass-through fire, which simulates flanking fire, or fire on compressed lines (both dangerous situations for civil war units).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBattle Cards introduce an element of uncertainty and excitement to play. Unique off-map displays track every brigade's reserves and casualties. Once a unit's reserves are used up, it becomes exhausted and liable to break.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGame Scale:\u003cbr\u003eGame Turn: 20 minutes\u003cbr\u003eHex: 100 yards \/ 91 meters\u003cbr\u003eUnits: Regiments and Batteries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGame Inventory:\u003cbr\u003eFour 22 x 34\" full color mapsheets (1.5\"\/38mm hex size)\u003cbr\u003eFour dual-side printed countersheets (520 .75\"\/19mm counters)\u003cbr\u003eOne dual-side printed countersheet (228 .5\"\/12.7mm counters)\u003cbr\u003eOne 24-page full color rulebook\u003cbr\u003eOne 36-page full color scenario book\u003cbr\u003eFive dual-side printed brigade display player aid cards\u003cbr\u003eTwo dual-side printed activation track display player aid cards\u003cbr\u003eTwo dual-side printed sequence of play\/terrain effects\/combat chart player aid cards\u003cbr\u003eOne deck of 52 battle playing cards\u003cbr\u003eTwo save rolls playing cards\u003cbr\u003eSix off-board artillery playing cards\u003cbr\u003eSix 6-sided dice (3 blue\/3 gray)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolitaire Playability: Medium\u003cbr\u003eComplexity Level: Medium-high\u003cbr\u003ePlayers: 2 or more\u003cbr\u003ePlaying Time: 1-4 hours\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40884241793075,"sku":"CPA1174","price":91.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic5717793.jpg?v=1662363488","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/brothers-at-war-1862","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
