BATTLE CRY! TOURNAMENT

by Ed Meyers

Every player gets to wear a kepi and talk 'Southern' or 'Yankee.' Played on 3-D Terrain with painted 20mm miniatures, players will be forced to make difficult decision based on limited information (Fog of War) and luck.

Every competent commander in history has had to deal with these obstacles, as well as his adversary, in order to be successful. But, being a game, you can always blame the cards or the dice for failure. Or, you could congratulate your opponent for a challenging contest (4 hours - no elimination).
