Ball's Bluff
A tense Civil War battle game set during the fighting at Ball’s Bluff in 1861. Players command company-sized Union and Confederate units on a hex-based map, using a chit-pull system to manage movement, combat, and reinforcements. Low-complexity rules and 103 pieces keep the focus on the developing engagement, as Union forces attempt to advance and withdraw across the Potomac while Confederate units press the attack.
