The Polemos American Civil War ruleset is now available. Following the pattern set by our successful Napoleonic and Franco-Prussian War variants, Polemos ACW gives you two complete sets of rules in one booklet.
Crisis of Allegiance will allow the wargamer to re-fight the larger battles of the period, such as Lee versus Meade at Gettysburg or Bragg versus Rosecrans at Chickamauga, fighting with armies of well over 50,000 men each.
On They Came (OTC) allows the wargamer to fight division- or corps-sized actions and re-create smaller engagements within larger battles, like Breckinridge's final assault on the high ground at the Battle of Stones River (Murfreesboro) in January 1863, or the battle that lost Arkansas to the Confederates, Prairie Grove in 1862.
No mass skirmishes with Polemos!
Although Baccus works exclusively in the wonderful 6mm scale, the basing scheme and mechanics will allow you to use larger and smaller figures.
As with all of the Polemos series, you can buy period army and booster packs specifically tailored for the organisation required by the rules. For those wanting to start in the period, you can start with our boxed set - which includes two complete armies (over 900 figures), full-colour flagsheets, bases, rules, scenic pieces, and a full-colour painting guide.
If you want to know more about Polemos ACW, visit the Polemos section on the Baccus site, where you'll find sample army lists, a worked combat example, scenarios, photographs of games in progress, designers notes, and a complete campaign system.
Polemos ACW rules are £15.00 GBP plus P&P. Both rules include army generators and a scenario. The boxed set is £86.00 GBP, and starter 6mm ACW armies are £28.50 GBP
