"...Civil War has spread like A Cloud Across The Land...." Cold Mountain

New American Civil War series coming from Pacific Rim

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 Reservation price is $48.00. To place your Prepublication Reservation, send an email to orders@justplain.com with your name, mailing address, and the number of copies you wish to reserve.
