La Guerra de Secesión

On the 12 April 1861 the Confederate army bombs Fort Sumter, starting the American Civil War. On the 9 April 1865, General Lee and his Confederate army surrender to General Grant at Appomattox, ending four years of war. This game recreates the whole war (translation from box cover). This game was published as part of the "second wave" of NAC´s wargames in 1983. Rules were quite easy to understand, as most of NAC´s titles until that date. There were only three types of counters in each band: generals, regular infantry and volunteers, plus conquest markers. Contents were: -64x80 cms. mapboard -counters -2 plastic trays for the counters -1 special die (without "1" and "6") -Rulebook Number of players: 2-4 (but ideally 2) Playing time: 180 min. approx. Difficulty: easy
