Across 5 Aprils

A two-player tactical wargame that recreates five Civil War battles: Bull Run, Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Bentonville. Each battle is a standalone scenario with its own map and counters but uses a common activation-and-combat system. Players draw chits to activate specific formations, move those formations, and trigger a general “Combat” chit to resolve engagements. Formation scale varies by battle (division to corps) and unit scale ranges from regiment to brigade, with play focused on maneuver, timing of activations, and resolving tactical combat.
