Description Gettysburg covers the most infamous three days of U.S. History, from the chance encounter on the outskirts of the Pennsylvanian town to the climatic Pickett's Charge. Each day can be played separately, or players can opt for the full battle. Gettysburg: Badges of Courage uses the acclaimed Block Units that first appeared in Napoleon, giving players a simple yet realistic fog of war that is missing in most board games. In order to create the fog of war, unit blocks are stood up with the backs facing the opponent. In this manner the opponent not tell the type or the strength of the units being deployed against him until battle begins. Along the sides of the unit blocks, only visible to the owner until it comes time for combat, are numbers that represent the strength of the unit. The current strength is on top. As the unit takes losses, it is rotated so a lesser value is on top. Related Games (Games that use the same or similar rules): Civil War World War II Other |
