Series: The Civil War Brigade Game No. 7
In the fall of 1864, John Bell Hood - the bitter commander of the Army of Tennessee - made an effort to transfer the seat of war north from Georgia-Alabama to Tennessee. This effort culminated at the Battle of Franklin, where Hood hurled his army into a bloody, head-long assault in the teeth of a strong Union defense. The shredded remains of the Army of Tennessee stumbled forward to await its destruction at the Battle of Nashville.
Embrace an Angry Wind covers the campaign from Spring Hill to Franklin. Tha game allows players to start before the bungled attempt at Spring Hill and to fight (or not fight) Franklin as they choose. The two game maps are not physically joined (units transfer using off-map "tunnels") which adds a great deal of operational maneuver to the game.
Because of the short wintery days, the game plays rapidly - even through the course of the campaign game.
While the Confederate player operates through the "Hood's Addiction Table", they can (and often do) win.
Embrace and Angry Wind makes an excellent starter game for players new to the successful Civil War, Brigade game series. With both the latest edition of the rules and a smaller battle to work with, new players will be able to quickly garner the skills needed to compete successfully in the other (larger) series games.
