American Civil War Union Commanders Military Wargaming Plastic Model Kit

The Civil War that tore through the continent was a bloody one, with the armies of the northern states taking up arms against the southern rebels who had shattered the Union. In this time of strife, names such as Grant, Sherman, Meade, McClellan, and Custer would etch their place in the annals of military history as they and their troops fought against their countrymen from the south.

Warlord Games' Black Powder – Epic Battles brings this pivotal period of American history to life, with a game that is based on the award-winning Black Powder Rules. The game features period-specific tweaks and scenarios, making it the perfect entry point for those interested in exploring this fascinating era of military history.

The box set includes five Epic Battles-scale American Civil War Union commanders in Warlord Resin: George Meade, U. S. Grant, George McClellan, William T. Sherman, and George Armstrong Custer. The models are supplied unassembled and unpainted, allowing players to build and paint them as they see fit, adding to the immersive experience of the game.

Reenacting crucial battles from the American Civil War, Black Powder – Epic Battles is designed to be played on large tabletops, such as a pool table, with multiple players. The rules, constructed by Warlord Games, are easy to learn and incorporate a standard move of 12 inches for infantry and 18 inches for cavalry. Each player will need to have a measuring tape handy, as they are not included in the set.

The game encourages players to engage in tabletop combat, using dice to determine the outcome of their actions. The 15mm figures, representing the troops of the Union and Confederacy, come to life as players strategize and maneuver their forces, seeking to emerge victorious in the historic battles.

The construction and painting of the models are just as much a part of the experience as the game itself. Watching the miniatures take shape and come to life adds to the immersive quality of the game, as players invest their time and creativity into the project.

Black Powder – Epic Battles: American Civil War is a must-have for fans of military history and tabletop gaming. Whether you're a seasoned wargamer or a newcomer to the genre, the game offers a compelling and engaging way to explore one of the most pivotal conflicts in American history.
