Union and Confederate armies maneuver for control of the Chattanooga region during the late summer and autumn of 1863, covering the Chickamauga and Chattanooga campaigns. Players command regiments through divisions on a hex map that represents rugged hills and ridges, executing operational maneuvers, cavalry raids, fighting withdrawals and pitched battles over day-by-day turns. Scenarios range from short introductory actions and specific battles to full multi-week campaigns, using the GCACW standard ruleset adapted for western terrain. Units operate at regiment-to-division scale with 1-day turns and 2,000-yard hexes; components include two large map sheets, force displays, counters, scenario booklets and reference charts.

    Siempre me ha llamado la atención esta serie de juegos sobre la Guerra Civil Americana, pero por unas cosas o por otras no he jugado nunca hasta que ya no he podido ignorar las buenas reseñas que tiene y la gran cantidad de seguidores que desean una reimpresión y nuevos títulos de la serie. Un Wargame que para mi es muy distinto a todo lo que he jugado hasta ahora, pero que me ha resultado de una brillantez y originalidad increíbles. La escala operacional que trata este juego es perfecta para esta guerra. Escenarios que te permiten ser creativo, con mucha tensión y un desarrollo del juego fluido y muy divertido. Deseando jugar mas escenarios y la campaña.
