Description Edit | History

A strategic-level wargame about the American War Between the States. It features point-to-point movement, low-complexity rules, and relatively few counters to maneuver. The game can simulate the entire war, or the action can be broken up into year-long scenarios.

More Information Edit | History

Alan Emerich writes, "I did the additional design work for the 2nd edition of the game, and have added some player aid sheets and additional optional rules for both it and the 3rd edition of the game." He offers the Living Rules 3.1, dated May 2006, on his website. (See web link below for the full package; some parts are available in the Files section.)

In his Designer's Notes, when comparing rules set 3 (the Phalanx Games version) to 3.1, Emerich says "matters of phrasing, timing, and examples have greatly improved the game’s clarity" while taking the rules length from 20 pages to 30.

The Living Rules 3.1 package also includes player boards helping the management of some advanced/optional rules, and his suggested additional counters (flat leader units, orders, navy counters, more flags and entrenchments...) "should a 4th edition ever be published".

6 More Control Markers
Big image with 30 flags of each side. They are arranged to make them turnable if printed on thick paper and cut out. For best matching to the original counters scale the image down to 25cmx15cm or roughly 10"x6".

8 Control Flags for House Divided
One thing this game could have used more of is control flags. These are scans of the flags that are placed side by side on a sheet to make it easy to glue to cardboard and make more control flags.
