You are purchasing an UNPLAYED, UNPUNCHED 1983 edition of Victory Games classic hex-based wargame, The Civil War 1861 - 1865. This game is not sealed, but all pieces are present and accounted for. I have stored the game in my basement in a box of other games. It may smell slightly musty, but it is in excellent condition (the box shows minor wear). I had the maps laminated when I first purchased it (over 20 years ago), so they are in supreme condition. The maps have a laminate border all the way around to allow you to put push pins in without piercing the map itself. I have found a sheet of 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick styrofoam that you get from your local builder's store makes a great platform on which to play. What you get with this purchase: Original Civil War game box 1 original Rules Booklet 2 identical 11' x 16" player reference cards 2 different 22" x 32" laminated mapsheets (maps A & B: southern U.S. and Texas with player reference) 520 unpunched playing pieces 4 6-sided dice 1 counter storage trayDescription from the Wargame Academy: PUBLISHER: Victory Games, The Avalon Hill Game Company (TAHGC) SCOPE: The American Civil War, Operational Level. TAHGC CATALOG DESCRIPTION: A dynamic portrait of this immense struggle, from its infancy to its final grasp depicting the nation and its leaders on a strategic level. You'll maneuver armies on accurate detailed maps according to the carefully drawn abilities of over 60 commanders. While you're fighting land battles, naval units struggle for control of critical waterways. Can be played as a campaign or in year-long scenarios. GAME BOX DESCRIPTION: From the epic campaigns of the East, to the ceaseless skirmishing in Texas and the Western Territories, - and throughout the vast lands in between- the American Civil War was a conflict memorable above all for its staggering scope and for its legendary leaders. A dynamic portrait of this immense struggle, from its infancy to its finals gasp, THE CIVIL WAR depicts the nation and its leader as no game has done before. Players re-create history on a map stretching from the Eastern shores through the untamed lands of New Mexico, maneuvering and engaging their armies according to the carefully drawn abilities of over 60 individually represented commanders, as ocean going and river naval units battle for control of critical waterways. YEAR PUBLISHED (EDITIONS): 1983. Official errata 11/83 is pulled from Web Grognards. An unconfirmed designer errata is also listed in addition to a number of player variants. An unpublished WGA 2nd edition (2003), reformatted rules set, which includes the alternate leader promotion variant, additional optional rules, two multi-player formats; one using and independent GM (MSword file), one using a player-GM (MSword file) is nearly complete. The original rule book is perplexing because the needed rule isn't found in the logical place. A Wargame Academy revised and amplified CVW rulebook is available and will be used for WGA organized play (3.5MB; pdf). The WGA effort continues on the rulebook as additional well versed players became involved in regular play (Dave Turansky, James Cohen, Peter Walsh and others; Dave Turansky currently is leading the maintenance effort for WGA).Design and Development: Eric Lee Smith Graphics: Ted Koller Rules Editing: Bob Ryer Playtesting: John Butterfield, Mark Herman, Ted Koller, Gerry Klug, Bob Ryer, Clayton Smith Blindtesting: Jamie Adams, Paul Dobbins, Richard A.
