It's kind of hard to explain without showing you, but I'll try.
There are about 1,024 15 milimeter toy soldiers, making up 2 Yank Divisions and 2 Reb Divisions. The game table is set up to mimic a battlefield. It resembles the terrain of a large model rail road. My game table is 9 feet by 5 feet (about the size of a ping-pong table)....the tables some of my pards have are even larger than mine!
Using strategy, troops manuever to attack enemy troops. There are tables and charts dictating how far units in certain positiond\s can move (ie, line of battle, march column, skirmish). There are also charts showing casualty results based on dice rolls.
I know, sounds boring....but it can really be very challenging!
