SQUARES
The Civil War Battle Game

New Game Kits Avaialble

Napoleon's Triumph
Simmon's Games Masterpiece. Yeah, we messed with this one. How about adding Corps Commander cards to spice up the battle sequence a little bit. Also adds some more historical flavour and constraint to the game system. No longer will you be allowed to employ Murat as the leader of the grognard Old Guard, and Constantine won't be in front of too many Cavalry charges.

The Battle of Britain
We couldn't resist! A monster has been created from this ancient classic from the 60s. Want to know the nightmare of operational planning of air warfare during WW2. Here it is. NOT for the faint-hearted. Extensive paperwork involved. Have plenty of erasers.

The Vicksburg Campaign

The Gettysburg Campaign

Version 1.4 of The Gettysburg Campaign is now available to owners of game. This revision only consists of cosmetic changes to the text (standardizing capitalization), a correction to the section numbering for the Retreat/Reinforcement Segment (section IX.B.5) and Pursuit Fire (section IX.B.6), and a minor rules clarification (yes, a unit that does not FAIL its Morale Check, PASSES its Morale Check).

Owners of the game may receive a free update either as a PDF file via email or a new rules booklet. To receive your update send us an email, with your preference. If the version number listed on the bottom of page 12 of your rules booklet is not "version 1.4" then you have an old version and are elligible for a free update.

(original rules versions have no revision number listed).

INFANTRYMEN

Looking for some Good Support Troops?

WE GOT'EM

We have collected a surplus of Imex 1:72 scale plastic miniatures of civil war soldiers in support poses. For example:

artillerymen kneeling with hands over ears

bucket carriers

hay lifters

ram rod men

saddle carriers

lanyard pullers

We want to get rid of them!
They're fine little men, we're just tired of having them laying around, so...
while supplies last get 12 men (random poses, 6 blue, 6 gray) for $2. For every 2 dozen ordered we'll throw in a caisson wagon with 4 horses and driver for free.

AND NOW!

(while supplies last)

We'll throw in 2 regular Infantrymen (1 blue/1 gray) with every dozen support troops ordered.

NO, WAIT

We just completed our year end inventory, and the situaton is more desperate than we thought. Therefore make that 6 FREE Infantrymen with every dozen support troops ordered.

That's a total of not 14, but 18 soldiers. Infantrymen may be in one of a variety of poses, inlcuding kneeling or standing shooting, running, etc. Some Infantrymen may in fact be dismounted Cavalry looking like Infantrymen (but sharp eyed customers will notice the weapons are different). Send check or money order to Deer Valley Game Company, at the address listed on this page, (please include your return address).

US funds only, no overseas shipment available. Offer good only while supplies last.
