The Rock of Chickamauga on Kickstarter Enters Its Final 48 Hours on Kickstarter

My buddy Hermann Luttmann’s latest wargame design is nearing the end of a successful crowdfunding run for Flying Pig Games. In The Rock of Chickamauga, two players will simulate the American Civil War battle known to many as the Gettysburg of the West. The Kickstarter project is over 500% funded and you can reserve a copy of The Rock of Chickamauga for a $115.00 pledge through November November 7th. Expected delivery is April 2025.

About the game:

What is “The Rock of Chickamauga”?

“The Rock of Chickamauga,” designed by the award-winning Hermann Luttmann, is the next thrilling installment in the Black Swan series, following the highly acclaimed “A Most Fearful Sacrifice”. This scenario-driven, two-player war-game plunges players into the epic Battle of Chickamauga, fought in September 1863 in northern Georgia. Command the Union Army of the Cumberland, led by William Rosecrans, as it maneuvers south from Chattanooga to confront Braxton Bragg’s Confederate Army of Tennessee. The conflict unfolds dramatically along Chickamauga Creek, known ominously as the “River of Death”, where generals grapple with the chaos of battle. Featuring 15 square feet of meticulously detailed maps and Flying Pig Games’ renowned production quality, “The Rock of Chickamauga” offers high solitaire playability and promises an exhilarating and immersive wargaming experience unlike any other.

The battle along that “River of Death” was a confused affair with generals exercising little control over their formation’s movements. A true “soldier’s battle” and an engagement that the Black Swan system was designed to simulate. Based on the system used in A Most Fearful Sacrifice, and similar to The Devil’s to Pay and Hill of Death, The Rock of Chickamauga will have the usual high quality production value that Flying Pig Games is known for and will not only be a deeply challenging wargame but an innovative and immersive simulation as well.
