Devil's Den (1980)

Devil's Den is a company/batallion level simulation of the Confederate assaults against the union positions at Devil's Den and Little Round Top on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg.

520 1/2" counters represent the opposing grey and blue combatants. There are three scenarios, one for each of the two hills and a grand scenario using the entire 22"x32" full color map. During a typical game turn, both players move their regiments by company, positioning them for rifle fire and melee assaults which are resolved by a die roll on the CRT.

Optional game rules such as off map artillery, double time movement, and CSA sharpshooters can be added for added historical interest.
