Field Commander Lee Antietam Battle Pack

Preorder expected in a few months time

Each Campaign offers an optional supplementary Battle Pack that highlights a smaller, key engagement in the wider battle. The driving design goal has been to create 'lunch time solitaire games' that is, games that can be set up, played and tidied up while you sip a coffee and enjoy a bagel! Extensive use of Special Rules allow the unique circumstances of each clash of arms to be replicated simply and quickly and make each battle different!   While most of the Force counters found in the Field Commander - Robert E. Lee core Set represent divisions, the counters in each Battle Pack detail historical Brigades, Regiments and Companies. 

Turner’s Gap: The attack made by the 2nd Wisconsin Regiment (part of the Iron Brigade) against the 6th Georgia Regiment in the assault on Turner’s Gap. Scale: Company.

Fox’s Gap: This game covers the early attack made by elements of the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the Union Kanawha Division against Garland’s Confederate Brigade. Scale: Regiment.

The Cornfield: This battle covers the initial clash between Confederate companies of the 18th Georgia Regiment and Union companies of the 2nd United States Sharpshooters and the 2nd Wisconsin Regiments in the Cornfield north of Sharpsburg, thus initiating the Battle of Antietam. Scale: Company.

Bloody Lane: This game covers the final attack on the Confederate flank north of Sharpsburg made by elements of the 61st New York Regiment and elements of the 64th New York Regiment. Specifically, it recreates the moment when the 6th Alabama attempted to pivot to meet the Union soldiers. Scale: Company.

Brave 9th: This battle covers the charge made by the 9th New York Infantry against the 15th South Carolina in the moments before A.P. Hill launched his own counter-attack on the extreme left of the Union flank. The soldiers of the 9th made the furthest progress, with some entering the streets of Sharpsburg itself. Scale: Company.
