By Swords and Bayonets (PRE-ORDER)

By Swords and Bayonetsis a two-player, regimental level wargame and the ninth installment in the award-winning Great Battles of the American Civil War series. Its focus is on small(er)-scale battles of the ACW and will serve as an ideal introduction for players new to the series. By reducing the size of the contending forces, players can more easily learn the detailed, layered rules and subsystems of theGBACWseries without fear of being overwhelmed by the size of the battles themselves.

Highlights:

• Four small-scale Civil War Battles, each on its own half-size, 22 x 17 map
• Forces on both sides limited to one division maximum
• Fewer than 50 combat units on the map per side for each battle
• GBACWSeries Rules fully supported
• One battle (Rappahannock Scenario) has a one-turn introductory scenario
