Hold the Line: The American Civil War

Edición en inglés.

Hold the Line: The American Civil War is a block game that uses modified rules from the Hold the Line game system. Infantry, artillery, cavalry, leaders, and even gunboats are deployed on the game board allowing players to refight great battles from the American Civil War.

The different unit types are made up of a variable number of similar blocks placed in the hex together. For example: A veteran infantry unit would have 1 block with a black square in the lower right corner along with 3 infantry units with no block in the corner.

Each turn players will receive a set number of action points based on the historical commanders at the battle. They will also roll a die to receive a random number of action points. With these action points each player will activate their units to move, fire, close assault, or rally. Different actions cost different action points. An activated unit can only perform one action in a turn.
