"...Civil War has spread like A Cloud Across The Land...." Cold Mountain
Pacific Rim Publishing is working on an American Civil War regiment/brigade level project from designer Jay Zollitsch: A CLOUD ACROSS THE LAND.
The first game in this series will be on the Battle of
Chancellorsville. We have gotten the cover art from Rick Drennan, noted
military artist.
This comprehensive system is both playable and
distinct from other wargames on the subject. There are 6 progressing
scenarios, which enable the play of either single aspects of the 3 day
battle, or the complete battle. There are basic, advanced, and optional
rules enabling the wargamer to play the game at the level of complexity
he finds best suited. The advanced rules include command and control,
constructing and dismantling of fortifications, special cavalry rules,
attacking/combat modifiers, advanced unit step losses, special combat
capabilities for Berdans sharpshooters, and morning / evening combat
modifiers [The "Has Your Coffee Kicked In Yet?" Rule] that can be
introduced singly or as a unified set of rules.
Optional rules deal with repairing / employing
captured artillery, using a mounted cavalry attack, unit morale,
concealed units, terrain values, and using variable leader values (ever
wonder what would happen if a good leader had a bad day, and a bad
leader had a good day?).
A CLOUD ACROSS THE LAND - Chancellorsville contains:
one 22 by 34 inch map
500 die-cut backprinted counters
rules booklet
6 scenarios
charts and tables cards
two dice -- one blue, one gray
boxed
The list price is $60.00. The Prepublication
