Game Description

Civil War Classics, Volume 1, is a game and game system covering the battles of Pea Ridge in northwestern Arkansas and Shiloh in western Tennessee. Several scenarios allow players to experience many different aspects of the two battles. Short, introductory scenarios allow players to learn the game system with a minimum number of units and game turns. More complex scenarios allow players to explore portions of the battles and then move on to the battle scenarios. The battle scenario for Pea Ridge can be played in an evening, and Shiloh can be played over a long Saturday.
