A low complexity game of a variety of civil war battles. Modular terrain through the use of hexagonal tiles allows for the setup of several famous civil war battle fields and a plethora of plastic civil war miniatures are used to represent the various forces during the conflict. Players manage a hand of cards that provide different orders to your troops in the right flank, left flank and center position of the battlefield.
This game is based upon Richard Borg's Command and Colors system.

The Battle of Nashville
|
|
Here is my take on the battle of Nashville. Also, this scenario uses an extra General that the game does not supply, so just use ONE of the CAVALRY pieces in lieu of the General. Cannons at Fort Negley cannot move. Firing on Ft. Negley reduces die roll by 1, Redoubts cannot move. If the CS captures the US flag, then the game ends automatically with a CS Victory. Read all the special rules, and Have fun!!

The Battle of Chattanooga
|
|
Here is my take on the battle of Chattanooga. This scenario has a bit of a twist. You still use the same flank lines on the map, but you retreat either west or east. Also, this scenario uses an extra General that the game does not supply, so just use ONE of the CAVALRY pieces in lieu of the General. Lookout Mtn. is considered ONE mountain. Gen. Sherman enters on the begining of the 3rd US turn. Have fun!

Battle Cry Optionals
|
|
There are a LOT of optional rules for Battle Cry out there. Of all the ones I have seen/tired (from all over), here is a small list of the ones that I think best fit/match the original concept of the Battle Cry game.
