Autumn of Glory (1995)

About this game

"AUTUMN OF GLORY" is a two player operational wargame on General William S. Rosecrans' offensive into northern Georgia during the late summer of 1863. This offensive was met by a strong Confederate counterattack that resulted in the Battle of Chickamauga. The game also portrays the effort made to control Knoxville that so vitally influenced the Chickamauga campaign. This is the fifth game in COA’s Civil War Campaign series. The map depicts the theater of operations from Cumberland Mountain to Rome, Georgia, centered on Lookout Mountain. It is divided into Areas to regulate movement. Each Area represents approximately a 7-mile slice of terrain. Each turn represent about 2 days of real time. The playing pieces represent divisions and brigades on both sides, as well as artillery units and various informational markers. Each combat strength point represents around 800 infantry, 400 cavalry, or 16 artillery pieces, depending on the unit represented.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
