The American Civil War is a major defining moment in the history of the nation. Soon, you can fight out on your own tabletops from Wicked Wargames with The Momentous Issue of War, their new tactical board game where armies and units are represented by little tiles on an 8×8 grid. The game is up on Kickstarter now.
From the campaign:
The Momentous Issue of War is a 8×8 grid-based tabletop game loosely based on the American Civil War, and that takes about an hour to play. The game is easy to learn and has a great amount of tactical depth, high-stakes decisions and dramatic narrative beats for players to enjoy.
Visually inspired by the traditional Kriegsspiel games, players use blocks to represent units with individual abilities, each conferring varying tactical elements to the gameplay. Different types of terrain encourage a strategic approach and the game includes varied elements, from brutal action to meticulous planning phases.
A unique activation system called the Tide of Battle enables players to feel the ebbs and flows of battle.
As players lose units they roll fewer and fewer activation dice making it harder for them to retain control over the battlefield.
The game was created by Wicked Wargames, the business created in April 2021 by a duo of two friends. Here’s our website!
The campaign’s over 2x funded with 11 days left to go.
