The Hill of Death -Champion Hill is currently on a special Pre-order price of $50 (msrp $55), available at Tiny Battle Publishing (a Flying Pig Games subsidiary). The game is expected to ship in August of this year. This boxed game is part of Herman Luttmann’s, A Shattered Union Series Civil War games.
Heavily influenced by his popular A Most Fearful Sacrifice, the Shattered Union series is a new line of American Civil War wargames designed to be accessible to gamers of any experience level. The series aims to provide not only a playable wargame experience in about three hours, but also to produce a realistic simulation of a 19th Century battlefield.
The Hill of Death is the first module in the Shattered Union series. The game covers the entire Battle of Champion Hill. This critical engagement was fought just outside of Vicksburg, Mississippi on May 16th, 1863, between the Union Army of the Tennessee (under Major General Ulysses S. Grant) and the Confederate Army of Vicksburg (under Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton). This exciting, fast-playing game includes:
- 1 – Map 17" x 22"
- 189 – Counters
- 45 – Cards
- Player Aids
- 1 – Series Rulebook item 5
For those that own A Most Fearful Sacrifice, or The Devil’s to Pay, this is an excellent addition to a similar gaming experience, which is something I personally like to have at my disposal.
