This Terrible Sound:
The Battle of Chickamauga was
the 'most even' major
battle of the Civil War. At the end of a brilliant campaign that
caused the Confederates to abandon Chattanooga, Rosecrans found
himself confronted by
an attacking Army of Tennessee. At the end of two days of struggle
in the woods of Northern Georgia, the Union Army withdrew northward
to Chattanooga
(and stayed there until the later Battle of Chattanooga). Bragg's
Rebels failed to pursue (much to the chagrin of Nathan Bedford
Forrest who announced he would no longer serve under "that
man", Braxton Bragg (he said
other things, too, but you get the idea).
This Terrible Sound provides the depth, detail, and scenarios
missing in another recent release on the subject. The designer
of that game glibly suggested that players use the scenarios
here to flesh out his game (which you can do if you like, but
why mess around with the middleman, when you can play the real
game instead?). This is another of Dave Powell's tour de
forces, and it shows in every way. As was the case in his earlier
game, This Hallowed Ground, TTS sets the gold standard for research
into this most interesting battle.
This Terrible Sound is the second game in the new Regimental
Sub-Series of the Civil War, Brigade Series. Following on the
heels of the acclaimed monster, definitive Gettysburg game (This
Hallowed Ground), TTS applies the same research enthusiasm and
rigor to this Western Battle. From the words of Park Historians
to the Ante-bellum County Farm maps used, no stone has been left
unturned.
All RSS games feature the in-depth information above, but also
apply a tactical system of ACW combat that allows a better presentation
of the tactics of the time than heretofore available. Every bit
of Dave's 30+
years of study, examination, and field experience come into play
here. This is a real gem...on a topic that lends itself to great
gaming!
