South Mountain 1862
A hex-and-counter wargame covering the Battle of South Mountain in 1862. Players command Union and Confederate brigades, with infantry and cavalry represented at brigade level and artillery measured by cannon strength. Morale ratings distinguish green, veteran, and crack formations. The historically detailed mounted map uses 250-yard hexes, while researched counters represent the armies’ orders of battle. Streamlined series rules and battle-specific rules support a complete game in two to three hours.
