One of the most violent and decisive naval battles of the American Civil War. Players use a standard deck of cards to activate their ships and fortress batteries and resolve combat (gunnery, ramming and torpedo/mine). Play is very interactive and intense, but without any of the tedious record keeping of many naval games. A Bold Fight also plays well solitaire. Components include one 11 by 17 map, 120 single-sided, un-mounted counters and 8 pages of rules and charts. Graphics are by Bruce Yearian.
