It is for small unit actions, with the game description putting you in command of a 'company' in the ACW. Units are from 4-8 (typically 6) figures with one or two corporals and a couple of skirmishers. Your company will have about a half dozen of these, with a couple of sergeants and an officer with color party and a drummer. Mechanics are like others from Ganesha games: three measuring sticks, short medium and long, for all movement and shooting, and players may roll up to three dice for activation of each unit, trying to score equal to or greater than the Q (quality) rating of the unit. Two or more failures is a turnover. Since you are using small units, and not individual figures however, the reactions to shooting and combat involve morale hits, marked by turning figures around, and the occaisional casualty rather than the push back/knock down or wound results from games like Song of Drums and Shakos. Hope that helps. |
