Description

Liberty is an excellent way to get introduced to wargaming, as well as a way to provide insight into why the war was fought the way it was.  It covers the whole struggle in the 13 colonies, from Main to north eastern Georgia.

In order to create a 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.
