Description

"Chickamauga" is a brigade-level wargame simulation of the battle of September 19-20th, 1863 along Chickamauga Creek. The actual battle was a confused melee in which each army went into action piecemeal.

The game emphasizes the command and control problems that characterized this battle.

It uses a unique planning points accumulation system combined with a chit-drawing command mechanism to reflect the fact that some of the best and some of the worst generals of the entire Civil War fought at Chickamauga.
