Grierson's Raid: A Civil War Game of Strategy and Speed by Tom Lalicki is a tactical board game that immerses players in the daring cavalry raid led by Colonel Benjamin Grierson during the American Civil War. Set in 1863, the game captures the challenges of supply, speed, and strategic maneuvers as players take on the roles of Union and Confederate forces. The objective is to simulate Grierson's audacious 600-mile journey through enemy territory in Mississippi, relying on clever planning and quick decisions to outmaneuver the opposition, gather intelligence, and disrupt Confederate rail lines, ultimately altering the course of the war.
