Shiloh: April 6-7, 1862

A brigade-level simulation of the April 1862 Battle of Shiloh, with each strength point representing 100 men and each hex covering 250 yards. Players command Union and Confederate formations in alternating turns, moving units and resolving combat. Command control affects movement and engagement: units within four hexes of their leader can move adjacent to enemy units. Victory depends on controlling terrain objectives and inflicting casualties. The game includes scenarios for April 6, April 7, and the full two-day battle, and supports one or two players in about three hours.
