This Hallowed Ground (1989)

About this game

This Hallowed Ground is game with area movement like Risk. The map is covering the whole territory where the most battles have taken place There are three levels of troop quality among infantry: recruit, veteran, elite. You can upgrade your troops by winning the battle. Four Turns are one year. Each turn you roll for command points to determine how much you can do. There are a variety of naval units in the game: riverboats, troop transports, raiders, frigates, ironclads, and cruisers. The beauty of the game are the many plastic pieces. It´s a very light Civil war game ( a kind of mixture of A HOUSE DIVIDED and AXIS and Allies)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
