American Civil War Wargaming

Breech-loading rifles, machine-guns, railroads and the telegraph all contributed to make the American Civil War the first 'modern' war, adding to its popularity with today's wargamers. This book outlines the organisation, weapons, equipment and capabilities of the Federal and Confederate armies, then shows how to build up miniature regiments of your own and recreate the battles on the tabletop, using playing rules provided.
