Description
On to Richmond II: The Union Strikes South covers some of the most famous campaigns of the Civil War in a single module for the award-winning Great Campaigns of the American Civil War (GCACW) series. Two of the campaigns in this module have been revised, repackaged, and rebalanced for improved play; and the third is entirely new:
On To Richmond II (which covers the 1862 Richmond Campaign) has had the Basic Game scenarios rebalanced as needed and modifications made to the rules and victory conditions for the Advanced Game scenario.
Grant Takes Command II (which covers the 1864 Overland Campaign) has had the various basic and advanced game scenarios revised as needed.
The Petersburg Campaign (which covers the 1864-1865 Petersburg Campaign) is an entirely new module that covers the months of battles, mostly in the open field, that started when Grant marched across the James River in June 1864 and ended with the defeat of the Confederates at Five Forks in April 1865.
The four maps included are painted by original map artist Charlie Kibler and have been significantly revised to include all the latest GCACW terrain types including hills, swamps, dams, trails and landings. New map area has been added to cover the western portion of the Petersburg battles. The military unit counters have been redesigned by Charlie Kibler to harken back to the counters in the original games in the series but with a more modern graphical treatment.
OTR2: The Union Strikes South contains an updated version of the GCACW Standard Basic Game Rules that all the other games in the series use. The Advanced Game rules are also standardized so players will be able to move quickly from one campaign to the other.
Richmond & Petersburg Campaigns includes a massive collection of twenty-five Basic Game scenarios and seven Advanced Game campaigns, divided as shown between the three modules.
OTR2: The Union Strikes South contains:
GCACW Series Rules Booklet (about 24 pages in color)
Three separate specific Rules Booklets for each of the above 3 games (in color including scenarios, the game as history, map gazetteer, etc.)
Four 22 x 32 full-color map sheets
Five 280-piece counter sheets
One 2-sided 11x14 color display: GTC off map display on one side & Petersburg charts & tracks on other side
One Terrain Effects Chart
Two full-color Force Displays
Two 4-page color Charts and Tables
Two 6-sided Dice
