Yesterday, I played the short scenario from Stonewall's Sword, which was designed by Hermann Luttmann and published by Revolution Games. It's the first game in the Blind Swords series.
The VP objectives spur players to reproduce the historical flow of the Cedar Mountain battle. The Union's early, foolhardy advance was later countered and overwhelmed by rebel reinforcements, leading to a narrow Union defeat.
The chit system is as good and entertaining as people told me. The event chits are plentiful, colorful, and give the players interesting ways to goose the activations. Splitting combat onto different "Fire" and "Close" cohesion tables adds both flavor and historical verisimilitude.
I'm glad I took the plunge! #hexesforever #revolutiongames #blindswords
