Recon! 1862 War in Virginia | Solitaire | Travel Wargame | Preview

Description provided by Wayne Hansen on YouTube:

This is an unboxing and preview of the solo wargame 1862 War in Virginia. Designed by Mike & Grant Wylie and published by Worthington Publishing. This is part of Worthington's small box series of travel wargames. 1862 War in Virginia was the decisive year of the Civil War, especially in Virginia. There was a real chance that the Union could have won the war early if Richmond had been taken. It was the only time during the conflict that the war could have ended in a Southern victory, had the Confederates been able to occupy Washington. Neither side accomplished these objectives, resulting in a draw in 1862. 1862 War in Virginia is a solitaire game on the Civil War campaigns in Virginia. You take the role of the Confederates against a card driven Union Artificial Intelligence (AI) player to determine the outcome of the Civil War in 1862. Players will have to fight along the four major fronts during 1862, The Valley, Overland, The Peninsula, and The James. Can you hold the Union at bay --- and possibly take the war north of the Potomac. The decisions are yours! GAME BOARD: On the map, there are four tracks that have advancement routes to Richmond with locations along the routes. Two of the tracks have routes that connect Washington and Richmond. Locations are circles and fortified locations are pentagons. Confederate and Union armies attempt to advance into and occupy opposing locations by attacking opposing army markers defending the location. Support me directly!
