This item may show some wear due to its age? It is complete and unused. This game does not have a box just the original sleeve it was mailed in which was standard practice in 1974 for new war games.
"The American Civil War 1861-1865 is a simulation on a stategic scale of the fratricidal war between the states between June 1861 and June 1865. The simulation is primarily of the land conflicts between the North and South with some secondary simulation of the Union Naval and Riverine forces. The game covers the entire war in seasonal turns. Optional scenarios allow players to simulate the effect of border states changing sides, of European recognition of the Confederacy and of European intervention in the conflict.
It "is a strategic simulation from June 1861 to June 1865. Combat units are generic ground forces on 1, 2, 4 or 6 strength counters. Also included are single strength permanent garrisons, leaders with variable (0-3) Leadership Ratings (3-USA, 4-CSA), a special Union naval leader (Farragut), Forts, Railroad Junction and Railroad Repair, Unsupplied, Riverine and Naval units." per Board Game Geek.
The game consists of:
One 22 inch X 34 inch game map.
One die cut counter sheet (200 pieces).
One rules folder.
The game also comes with Strategy & Tactics "The American Civil War" edition (Number 43) dated March of 1974. The magazine goes into great depth of the events and circumstances surrounding the Civil War.
