Johnny Reb

Against a backdrop of bitter civil war, two Union and Confederate forces meet across a river divided battlefield in a fight to capture the opposition's flag.

You can be either side and can set a time limit on the length of the game if you wish. Otherwise you fight until one side is destroyed. You have three types of unit: infantry, cavalry and artillery and you can have up to 20 of each.

The units will be positioned on a map which will also have a river running vertically with a bridge across it and areas of marshland and forest where the units cannot go.

Good News

P. Variability in game time and complexity.

Bad News

N. A war of attrition rather than tactical skills.
N. Simple graphics and sound.
