Across 5 Aprils

A ACW game covering five battle of the conflict; Bull Run, Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Bentonville. Each battle is a separate game unto itself, with its own set of counters and map, however the basic system applies to all the battles. Players pull a chit to activate certain formations which can then move. If the "Combat" chit is pulled, then all combats are resolved. Formations and Unit size varies from game to game, ranging from division to corp for formations and regiment to brigade for units.

Nominee for the 1992 Charles S. Roberts awards for Best Pre-World War II Boardgame (Charles S. Roberts Awards).
