June Brings A House Divided 4th Edition

Apr 19, 2012

Frank Chadwick’s classic game of the American Civil War makes a return in a new edition from Mayfair Games. I still remember taking to the table top, against our friend Ed, for games of the original GDW A House Divided. AHD is a great title and I’m really looking forward to this to hit in the Summer! MSRP is $45.00.

From Mayfair:

Mayfair Games announces a June 2012 release for A House Divided 4th Edition. Reenact the struggles of the American Civil War in this returned classic game. Will you keep the Union whole or force America to stay divided?

A House Divided simulates the epic struggle of the American Civil War that was fought over the twin issues of slavery and state’s rights. The period from 1840 to 1861 saw these issues brought to a boil, and in 1861 the nation became tangled in a terrible war that lasted four long years.

The game depicts the war between North and South from the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas Junction) to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Courthouse (or Grant’s surrender at Harrisburg). Each player leads one of these two nations and makes the strategic decisions which determine the outcome of the war.
