Angol leírás

Cedar Creek 1864 is a small simulation of an American Civil war battle fought in October 19th 1864 between five Confederate divisions (Ramseur, Pegram, Evans, Kershaw and Wharton) and nine Union divisions (Wheaton, Getty, Keiffer, Mcmillan, Birge,Thoburn, Hayes, Merrit and Custer).

The wargame is based on the rules of Bull Run 1861 (Vae Victis 89), the major changes are the gaming scale, activation per division, rout rules, cavalry role and no operational move.

One turn represents 1h30 (duration 9 turns)
The turn is divided in 4 phases :
1) Initiative phase
2) Player 1 moves 0 to 2 divisions then player 2 (repeated 3 times)
3) Continuation phase (possible new movement phases depending on dice roll up to 5 times in the whole turn)
4) Administration phase (rout and rally)

The player with the most victory points (from inflicted casualties to the enemy and controlled locations) wins the game.
One counter represents a brigade.
There are 98 unmounted counters (51 units + 47 markers), 84 counters are double-sided.

The small map (29 x 21 cm) represents the country area around Middletown and is divided in zones.
