The components include: 1 8x10 map 1 set of rules 2.5 pages long including charts & tables 1 set of 26 counters; 10 Union, 15 Confederate & 1 game turn The Union Infantry are Corps-sized, the Confederate Infantry are Division-sized. No scale is given for distance on the map or for each (of the 10) turns. Mechanics are a simple yugo-igo, but rough terrain and ample artillery make things interesting. Original images are provided, as well as some graphically-updated images. This is a good example of what early DTP-like self-publishing could do. Remember ... 1975 ... 33 years ago.
