This game was created by Asten Games. 1861 is a 2-player Civil War game. The objective is to capture your enemy's capital. There is a built in clock of 10 rounds, at which time the Confederate Player wins an automatic victory. The combat system is very similar to Axis & Allies with some small changes. Both sides begin with 3 generals to command their troops. The game comes with 25mm (generals) and 15mm lead miniatures.
