This rule and note are in conflict. What is correct? If a completed Field Works is ever alone in a hex it is immedi ately removed from play. If a Division in a hex with a Construct Field Works marker leaves the hex for any reason, even if stacked with a Detachment, the Construct Field Works marker is removed. If a Division with a Field Works or Construct Field Works marker on it attacks or supports an attack, the marker is removed. Play Note: During Detachment placement you can, if other conditions are satisfied, stack a Detachment with a Division in a completed Field Works. If the Division subsequently vacates the Field Works the Detachment prevents the Field Works from being removed

The opening of the vid immediately sent me into Ken Burns Civil War series mode. I just preordered this from my fav online retailer. If this becomes a series, I'm on board for the long haul. I'm very excited about this game/series as it represents a low entry barrier, which means you can teach younger players some history with it. At the same time, my older war game veteran friends will love the shorter playing time and (hopefully) the vast array of battles to explore/learn about.

Congratulations! In my opinion, this is the most logical (what I usually call "plausible") set of movement and combat game mechanics for simulating Civil War tactical engagements I've come across in years. I do think the players have too much knowledge of enemy dispositions, but otherwise, it looks brilliant. I do have one question. I think you said a unit in Battle formation can only move one hex. But you also showed a Battle formation unit that retreated three hexes. So, I assume a retreat is treated as an exception to the one hex movement constraint on units in Battle formation? Why not limit retreat in Battle formation to one hex or stop as soon as the unit leaves an enemy ZOI?
@markherman503 ай бұрын
This is something I covered in my various c3i Clio's corner articles and in my upcoming book. Time scale matters and what is being simulated matters. A unit in battle formation is moving one hex in an orderly (as much as possible) attack. A retreat which is not movement, but the result of the attack has the unit falling back either in a somewhat orderly fashion or a disorderly fashion (broken). A unit will retreat until it is no longer under fire. A ZOI represents at the half mile/hex scale artillery fire and as such a unit will not retreat and remain within artillery fire range. Three hexes or two hexes into defensive terrain is where they are going to stop and reform. I hope that answers your question, something that will be in my next Clio's corner article in issue 38.

It was just confusing because in the video, you seem to contradict your two statements. Rebel Fury should win a few awards. More importantly, it should teach designers that less is more (including less units, less hexes, and less rules). Thanks for leading the charge!

WAR PLAN ORANGE 1936 - Our tabletop historical miniatures group presented a naval Jutland-type battle at the KC Mo. HAHMGS Con with each fleet having a 10 ship battle-line of BBs & BCs and supporting cruisers, DDs, troop transports, a small CVL each, and a sub each ! Our battle-game supposed the Japanese moving on the Phillipines and the US having broken their codes knew about it and meeting just north of Luzon . We too had read Bywater's book and had the Avalanche boxed game and a booklet by Ben King also available for OOBs . The tabletop action on a large blue table started with small airstrikes on each fleet with very few planes each which were fought off with cap fighters and AA fire . Also as each fleet entered the table they had to deal with sub-attacks with air-cap, spoting, and AS defense (DDs) . Then each fleet launched torpedo attacks with their light ships on each others battle-line which were driven back by cruisers and DDs which in turn were attacked by each battle-line ! The Japanese line broke into smaller groups as their BCs could advance faster toward the enemy which put them in range of the US BBs which was their undoing ! The Japanese also had to protect their troop transports which was an extra burden ! We enjoyed presenting this tabletop historical miniatures battle at the convention and had 12 players in it having a fun time ! I see by your video that your game is more of a strategic map/counter game while we enjoy a quick and dirty tactical miniatures battle. :-)

@Stiglr8 ай бұрын
Interesting concepts (as always), however the out of command "magnet" rules (having to always move CLOSER to a distant commander if out-of-command) bring to mind specific questions: would a CSA unit in a Seven Days/Peninsula or Gettysburg campaign in this system be able to have JEB Stuart make his famed "ride around the Union Army" or duplicate his fateful foray to the east in Pennsylvania (leaving Lee effectively blind)? Would Lee be able to break up his Army of Northern VA to both defend at South Mountain and also send a force down to occupy Harper's Ferry in the '62 Maryland Campaign (culminating in Antietam)? That question notwithstanding, this looks very interesting. I wonder how the different dynamics would make this feel a LOT different than, say, the Great Campaigns of the ACW series?
@markherman508 ай бұрын
Simple answer is yes as Lee in maneuver mode covers around 8 miles so Jeb at Richmond is always in range. For other situations I use a second HQ like the French at Waterloo.

This is an experiment in an old guy trying to use new methods to teach a game. I do these solo and it takes a bit of time to make them so they are not perfect. Several times during the video I misspoke, at 23:48 I state that a Detachement is placed in a manner like an HQ. That is mostly correct, BUT a detachment does NOT have to be closer to a friendly unit than an enemy unit. That said, it conforms to all of the other rules such as not in an enemy Zone of Influence/Control, etc. The good news is the rules are correct and hopefully the video will aid you in quickly coming up to speed but in all cases the rules not this video takes primacy.
@markherman5010 ай бұрын
I misspoke 21:35, when I'm filming, talking, and stating the rules I often make subtle mistakes. This is not helpful to those who are using this as a way to learn the rules. Grant has two battle stars and you ADD, not subtract his battle stars (makes it more not less likely he can change mode). So a 3 die roll +2 stars is a 5, which I correctly played that he is removed from the map.

I forgot just how spectacular the production of the GMT version is. I've had my friend's copy of Pacific War on my shelf for 30 years, and despite several attempts was not able to crack that nut. Two of my favorite games are Fields of Fire and ASL so I wasn't intimidated or anything. I just could not grok the Victory Games rules delivery. When GMT's version of Pacific War released last year, I finally able to conquered the rules. Played the game for a couple months, gave it a thorough working over, then moved on like I always do. But now I feel like playing it again. That my friends, is a rare thing in wargaming. The quality of 'making the table' is something I'm constantly searching for, and Pacific War seems to have it.
