BP Epic Battles: American Civil War Guts & Glory Starter Set (English)

In 1861, the Southern states saw Abraham Lincoln’s election as president of the young United States of America as a direct threat to their state's rights and way of life. America was no longer united, the Union divided as the new Confederate States of America was formed in the South, and the American Civil War began. Lincoln, determined to preserve the Union and put an end to slavery, raised the Army of the Potomac, and across the country brothers fought brothers. For the next four terribly long years, American armies marched across American fields and burned American farms as Americans killed Americans, in a war the likes of which the nation had never seen.

The Epic Battles system allows players to refight these battles on a grand scale. The game is based on the familiar and award-winning Black Powder rules system, with some period adjustments to root the battles in the ideologies of the American Civil War doctrines.
