Grant: The Western Campaign of 1863

DescriptionGRANT: The Western Campaign of 1862 is a game about the Civil War campaign in Western Tennessee and neighboring areas in the early months of 1862. This campaign, which included the battles of Fort Donelson, Island Number Ten, and Shiloh, made the reputation of General U.S. Grant. More than any other Civil War campaign, this one was dominated by rivers and combined land/naval operations. Movement and combat by river are just as important as land, giving this campaign a unique feel in Civil War history. A chit-based sequence of play makes the game highly variable and models the abilities of Grant and Johnston.
