I've played this for a number of years, and recently when playing with a new group, found they used a slight variant to the marches rule. When rolling the die and rolllng a 6, their rule is that the Confederates get a max 5 marches with this role. When the Union rolls a 6, they only get the OPTION of taking a 6th march as an invasion. In other words, the 6th march MUST be an invasion, or it is lost. The Union only gets 5 land marches max as does the Confederates, but thier 6th MAY be an onvasion, but if theyt chooise not to invade, they forfeit the 6th march.
I would appreciate your thoughts.

I like to exchange ideas but I have no interest in a pissing contest.
If you want me to review your game, just GM me and send me a copy. Abstracts, wargames and euros equally welcome. No party or dexterity games please.

I presume they're trying to "balance" what is in reality a well-balanced game. If either side is at a disadvantage in the game, the Confederates are-- once one learns the game-- and so the last thing the game needs is to help the Union more.

There is an advanced rule in the game that balances marches rather well. Also some good ones for automatic port defenses etc.

I play the advanced rules which links the number of marches to the side and the year. I think 1D6 (even though 1->2) is too large a variance.
