Based upon an article submission within the pages of "Miniature Warfare" Magazine Vol. 1 #-7, and part of a series for miniatures wargaming. This booklet has a yellow front & back plasticized-looking outside covers, with black print on the front and plastic spiral binding for the pages. It contains 20 pages of rules in a half-page-sized format, and covers the basics of minis gaming within this. It details the use of "bounds" written orders and simultaneously revealing them, for its mechanism of play. You will need to provide special 6-sided-dice numbered as follows: 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 ("average" dice), as well as some regular D6s, various other sundry items associated with this genre as required, and some markers of the same size as the units that they will represent in the game. These markers can even be used for decoy units where applicable, and you would have to obtain additional data on specifics for individual battles, troops, & leaders prior to commencing play for this. Calculations for creating casualties are based upon a percentages and die rolls method being employed for resolving conflicts. These seem to be the easiest and quickest rules devised at the time, for recreating the many epic confrontations that were to define the "American War for Reunification" in the period covered by this rules set.
