Overland

By the designer: Overland- a SMALL solitaire game of the 1864 Virginia campaign. Player controls the Union forces, with a simple reaction/retreat system controlling the Rebs. Two sets of counters, in two styles, so you wont have to reprint them if you make a mistake when cutting and pasting. Rules look legalistic but I could explain the game in 5 minutes- about how long it takes to play the thing. With one 8x11 inch map, seven 5/8 inch playing pieces, and four pages of rules, this is obviously meant for the break room, or the plane and train seat tray. So, no grumbling about how simple it is.
