The Civil War
in the Far West: The New Mexico Campaign, 1862 (NMC)
A two-player, low-to-intermediate complexity simulation of the
Confederate invasion of the US southwest. It's primarily a
strategic-level design, but it also contains operational undertones.

The Santiago Campaign, 1898
(TSC)
A low-complexity, two-player, operational-level simulation of
the US campaign to capture the Cuban port of Santiago during the
Spanish-American War, designed by Ron Bell. Solitaire play is also doable, provided the
player is willing to ‘fudge’ the concealed Spanish units rule. The US
player controls all American and Cuban units; his opponent controls the
Spanish units.

The Quest For Annihilation
By Christopher Perello
Civil War came to the United States when the first shot was fired at Fort Sumter on 12 April 1861. Most people, including the military and political leaders of both sides, thought the war would be won or lost quickly in the Napoleonic tradition, with a great battlefield collision. Instead, the war ground on for four increasingly bloody years, inching steadily but slowly into the Southern heartland. Battles were frequent, but rarely decided more than the control of a single town or a few blood-soaked fields.
