We were finally able to play the War in the South Scenario for Liberty or Death: The American Insurrection, which is contained in C3i Magazine Nr 30. The scenario is designed as a true 2 player only game that sees the players controlling the Patriots and the British with the Indians and French playing only a very minor support role in the game. The scenario is aptly named as it focuses only on the Southern colonies including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The scenario lasts three rounds and can be played in about 2 1/2 hours. We enjoyed our playthrough immensely and really had a good time with the scenario. One of the optional rules that you will want to use is the 2 player Initiative Track that was designed by Brian Train for his COIN Series game Colonial Twilight. Here is a picture of that track for your use:

Thanks Grant! I hope you found the Initiative Track an interesting way to handle the “2-body problem”, in advance of its official launch with Colonial Twilight.

I really enjoyed using the 2 player track as it really brought some interesting choices to the game. I can’t wait to try out Colonial Twilight in June.

Great review guys – thanks for taking the time. Glad you enjoyed it! I’m doing a gem on the Campaigns of 1777 for Strategy and Tactics – might be a great scenario for LoD as well! And thanks to Brian Train for allowing us to use his Colonial Twilight initiative system for two players – or as they say in Canada – two bodies ?!
Also enjoyed the cameo of the tiny man!

It is very different than LoD. It forces you to think about things in a different way.

Still learning LoD so it should be exciting.
