Join me for a very special stream with legendary designer Mark Herman, as he demos his latest design, Army of the Potomac: Campaigns of 1862 and 1864, the upcoming release in GMT Games’ Civil War Heritage series.
Following on from the acclaimed Rebel Fury, this volume brings players into the shoes of Union and Confederate commanders across some of the most pivotal battles of the Civil War, including the Seven Days, Spotsylvania II, North Anna River, and Cold Harbor. With streamlined setup, low counter density, and a clever Zone of Influence mechanic, Army of the Potomac delivers fast-playing scenarios that still capture the drama of division-level Civil War combat — from artillery duels to desperate multi-wave assaults.
Mark will walk us through the design, show how the system builds on Rebel Fury, and give us a taste of the operational and tactical decisions that shaped these campaigns. If you’re curious about what makes this new entry stand out, or just want to see a master at work, you won’t want to miss this session.
