Written by veteran game designer Dave Brown, Pickett’s Charge is an exciting and dynamic game with plenty of fast-paced action combined with a command and control system that is intuitive and simple to use, but nuanced and subtle enough to provide the gamer with interesting and testing command challenges. ‘Simple to learn but a challenge to master’ has never been more the case as the player is constantly presented with decisions about how to best influence the action, to seize the initiative from the enemy, and to inspire his troops to great deeds.

Packed with Civil War flavour, Pickett’s Charge is designed for divisional and larger battles in the American Civil War, with the regiment being the smallest manoeuvre element, the brigade the lowest tactical command. A typical club night action involves several brigades per side and a full day or weekend could see a Corps or two handled with ease.

82 pages in length, Pickett’s Charge includes rules for using both 15mm and 28mm figures, suggestions for organising your armies with a point system and a guide to rating force. An introductory scenario is all you need to get playing with this great new set of rules from the master of the big battlefield.
