Battle Cry (game)




A Board Game based on the American Civil War , designed by Richard Borg and published by Avalon Hill . The same game mechanic was later used in Borg's game Memoir '44 , published by Days Of Wonder . Like Memior '44 , the map has large hexes on which pieces move about. Cardboard hexes are provided to be placed on the map to represent a wide variety of battles. The basic mechanics involve playing a card which allows a player to order a certain number of units on a specified flank (left, right or center). Combat involves taking a number of dice (specified by the unit attacking and terrain). The special die have all of the unit symbols on them, and whenever the targets symbol is shown, 1 figure is removed from that unit.
