Black Powder Epic Battles - Casualty MarkersSummary: Set of unpainted miniatures for Black Powder Epic Battles.
With the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, the tension between the Northern and Southern States boiled over into outright hostility. Birthed in the South, the Confederacy fought to maintain its independency whilst Northern troops headed south in a bid to preserve the union. Four years of hellish fighting ensued, consuming the nation. It was a war the likes of which the Americas had not seen before, and would never again.
It is one of the most studied military conflicts in history, with over 237 named battles in addition to innumerable minor actions and skirmishes. Tactically, battles were still largely linear - regiments frequently fired all their ammunition only to be relieved by a second wave of troops passing through the line. However, the technology of war had become all the more destructive, and casualty rates were atrocious, leading to some historians citing the warfare of the American Civil War to be a precursor to that of the 1st World War over 50 years later.
The Epic Battles system allows for gamers to refight these battles on a huge scale. The game is based on the familiar award-winning Black Powder rules system, with a few period-flavour tweaks to cement the battles in the ideologies of American Civil War doctrines.
During the cause of the game a Black Powder General will have a need to track their regiment’s casualties. These casualty markers feature prominent markers enabling just that – Track wounds effectively and with a visual flourish. These are generic, and are thus suitable to be painted up as either Union or Confederate troops.
Although designed with the Black Powder Epic Battles: ACW scale in mind, the practice lends itself to equally well to miniatures games of any scale set in the American Civil War period.
Each pack contains 6 cavalry casualty bases and 12 Infantry casualty bases.
