Review commentary

"Johnny Reb" designed by John Hill, is a set of rules for the American Civil War, featuring simultaneous movement and strong command-and-control elements. It's designed for 10mm to 25 mm figures, with a turn representing 20 minutes and each figure representing 30 men. The game has detailed, if somewhat disorganized, rules for various aspects, including infantry, artillery, morale, and charges. It's known for its complex but comprehensive mechanics, providing a deep and somewhat historically accurate wargaming experience. Although out of print, a set of game rules can be had from places like Grandiosity and Noble Knight Games.
