Antietam 1862 is Volume I in the new Civil War Brigade Battle Series from Worthington Publishing which boasts itself as a series that is designed to fight a battle in an evening. Antietam 1862 focuses on the pivotal battle in Maryland that was the bloodiest day in American history. More than 22,000 were killed, wounded, or missing.
The game is an I-Go-U-Go system with each strength point representing 100 men. The game rules are very simple and come in an 8 page rule book. We really had a good time with this one and look forward to more editions in the series with the next volume being Shiloh which just arrived at our door.

Hi Guys nice review of Antietam. One comment in the example of the Confederate defense fire and where the inflected a loss or two you needed to rule for morale check on those Union units before they can attack with their offensive fire. This is critical in the game mechanics due the possiblity that the unit may not pass morale and withdraw from the position that the commander planned on using the unit to fight with. Just thought I share that and you two might want to replay your game. It might have a surprising different outcome. I been playing the game for awhile.
Thanks again for the great video. Are your doing one on Shiloh?
Cheers Dave
