Ewell, McClaws, Anderson, Hood, AP Hill. Doubleday, Mead, Hooker, Sedgwick, Slocum. They almost feel like a bunch of old friends now. I got this email recently:
“I haven’t played an ACW tabletop game for a few years now. As I was putting stickers on the Sharpsburg blocks, seeing those familiar old names and that amazing map, I really, really got the urge!”
I feel exactly the same way. Over the years I’ve grown away from my Gettysburg, Stalingrad, Bulge, Waterloo and Russian Campaign roots to other more subtle and exotic pallets. I haven’t played these campaigns and battles for years.
It is exciting to see these old favorites come back with an all new approach and perspective. It’s kind of like seeing the all new Muscle Cars come back: Camaro, Mustang, Challenger.
After seeing the new Antietam, I am really looking forward to the new Gettysburg as well. The uncertain move sequence alone bring a mountain of tension to the 1st Day. I have a feeling, it may just be the solution needed to liven up the 2nd & 3rd Day action as well.
When will Antietam be shipped?
It’s shipping right now! We hope to have most of the Kickstarters out by the end of the week. 🙂
Where can this be purchased ?
We are shipping the Kickstarters now. The regular version isn’t on our site yet. I’ll try to get it listed later today!
Ok, it should be up and available now!
