 Windopaene's World - Game Review - Battle Cry
Battle Cry allows players to re-create battles of the Civil War, using a card-driven movement and fire system, a large blank mapboard with terrain tiles that can be placed to create specific battle terrains, and lots and lots of small plastic miniature soldiers.
Battle Cry comes with 15 scenarios, (with another 3 "official" scenarios available on the net), which show how the board is to be set up, (in terms of both terrain features and unit placements), and any special rules which apply to the scenario, as well as a historical summary of the battle being depicted.
Battles are handled by looking at the type of unit attacking, the range to the defending unit, any defensive modifiers based on the defender's terrain, and by the presence of a General with the attacking unit.

Apart form the relentless bias of the book, it is poorly served by the publishers: the photographs are cramped and mostly anyone’s second choice, more seriously, the maps of the battlefields are so poorly printed as to be almost unuseable.

Mr McPherson's achievement is nothing short of miraculous, he encapsulates every aspect of the civil war from the political and social factors to the personalities involved, and some tremendous military details, the descriptions of the battles are so engrossing you can almost smell the gunpowder wafting off the pages.
