A Civil but Merciless Tournament
GAME DESCRIPTION:
For the People is a two player Grand Strategic level game
of the American Civil War between the United States of America
(USA) and the Confederate States of America (CSA). Players represent
the major decision makers for each side, not any particular general
(historically, Lincoln and Davis). Forces are represented by
generic brigade (CSA) or division (USA) sized formations, which
can be grouped into army level organizations. Most of the historically
important generals are represented by named leader counters (who
appear at the point in which they assumed major command historically).
Each turn each player draws a specific number of cards. These
cards are used to drive the activities in the game. They can
be played to activate a force, trigger a historic event, and
most other game functions. The map uses a point to point system
that covers the areas where all major operations could or did
occur. Each turn represents about four months of time.
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The format is Single Elimination of six-hour rounds of the Campaign
scenario. 2006 FTP Reprint rules available at www.e-markherman.com,
2006 Reprint deck (all cards), all optional rules. Players will
choose sides randomly, no bidding.
Medalists (plaque winners) will
receive GMT merchandise credits of $20 for 1st, $15 for second,
$10 for third and $5 for fourth place. A For The People
Deluxe Map will be awarded to the Best Sportsman.
