Heavy weight: Expect a long teach

From BoardGameGeek

Baton Rouge is part of the Great Battles of the American Civil War series (GBACW). This series is an offshoot of the Terrible Swift Sword: Battle of Gettysburg Game (TSS) system. The game simulates the Confederate attempt to retake the Louisiana capital in August, 1862. A unique aspect of this battle was the support of the Confederate ironclad Arkansas, which leads to a simulation of naval support of street fighting. Game-turns represent about three quarters of an hour of real time. The map scale is 110 per hex, and each Strength Point is the equivalent of 25 men or 1 artillery/naval gun. 1 22" x 17” mapsheet, 1 countersheet of 100 counters. This game was included in Strategy & Tactics magazine #133.
