Description
Postcard Civil War East is a little postcard size/format Strategic level board-wargame about the American Civil War in the East to mail/give to family & friends. 6 turns per year, 1861-65, but just a single year's campaign can be played. 7 Union and 5 Confederate pieces. Lots of Fog of War, Jackson's Foot Cavalry II Corps while it lasts, etc. A one-year campaign plays in ... 15 minutes? ... so the 5-year war (unless someone wins sooner) ... 75 minutes? Simple, basic mechanics. (Union player:) "Wherrre's Jackson?!" —description from the designer
