Description: One of the original set of Avalon Hill "Adult Games" that includes U-Boat, Tactics II, Verdict, and Dispatcher.This is one of the earliest "typical" wargames, with movement/strength counters, order of appearance chart, CRT, etc.Board has square grid with squares 1" = 1/4 mile. One hour turns.27 Confederate counters41 Union countersUnits include infantry, artillery, cavalry, HQs (but had no use), and outposts (pickets, not in '64 Ed.).Roberts redesigned this game in 1961 with hexagons. Although it sold out, Roberts wasn't happy with it. He then re-released it in 1964 with squares again, like the 1958 version. However, the rules were significantly changed.The 1958 version was basically a miniatures game on a map. You used range cards (shown in the illustration) both to move your units and then to check their firing range. Units could rotate on their centers before checking with a range card, which was placed along the front side of the rectangular pieces. You got better odds hitting from a flank. Artillery had double range the of infantry or cavalry.
