Gettysburg 1863

GETTYSBURG 1863 uses the largest mounted game board Worthington/Old School Wargames has ever made.  The reason this is the largest game board we ever created is because we wanted to use large thick counters with large hexes- 3/4" thick counters with large hexes - which at this scale creates the need for a large game board.  

GETTYSBURG 1863 is Volume IV in the Old School Wargames Civil War Brigade Battle series.  Gamers get to refight the historic and pivotal battle of Gettysburg in 1863 using a large mounted map board, large pieces, and a streamlined set of series rules that is just 8 -12 pages long.  The Battle Booklet will give you historical details, design, notes and 6 scenarios:

• July 1 - Meeting Engagement

• July 1 - Take That Hill (Can Ewell take Culp's Hill?) (one map)

• July 2 - The Fight for the Flanks

• July 2 - The Fight for Little Round Top (one map)

• July 3 - Lee's Folly

• July 1 - July 4 (the full battle with an optional July 4th day for gamers)

The single day scenarios should take between 1 to 3 hours to play with the full battle taking 6 - 10 hours to play.

Special rules for early or late arrival of reinforcements, follow up attacks, new terrain rules for multi level hex changes, a new rout rule, and more!

Gettysburg 1863 is easily playable by teams of 3 or more with each player taking command of a corps in either the Union or Confederate armies.
