Punched counters with cards and map. Uncertain if every counter is included. More items available in my Ebay store.Lincoln’s War reflects the fickle nature of politics
and its influence on military policy-making during the American Civil
War. Here, the battlefield is an extension of the political arena. Many
historical movers and shakers support or oppose their presidents’ war
plans. Will Mr. Lincoln save the Union? Will Mr. Davis succeed in
sundering one nation and creating another? How will you direct their
political support? Lincoln’s War is a card-driven game using cards to
activate generals, but in Lincoln’s War, activation numbers are also
political currency or PC. PC not only activates generals but promotes
worthy commanders, purchases war material, forces indecisive commanders
to act, and represents support for the war. A decisive PC point spread
is an advantage in winning the game but driving an opponent to 0 PC (and
0 Congressional support) at the end of a turn will ensure victory, even
in the face of defeat. Unique features include a diceless combat system, seditious
characters, and immobilization tokens. The combat system requires
players to husband resources and congressional political support to
ensure victory. Seditious characters oppose their respective Presidents’
handling of the war and sooner or later will erode a president’s vital
political support. Immobilization tokens reflect damage in the form of
casualties, as well as hesitation, confusion and even insubordination.
