About the Game

Embrace an Angry Wind - The Battles of Spring Hill & Franklin, 29-30 November 1864, covers the Confederate Army of the Tennessee's campaign from Spring Hill to Franklin. The game also allows players to fight the entire campaign from Spring Hill through Franklin—a campaign which will be dictated by the decisions of the Union and Confederate players—both battles might be fought, or just one. Lastly, the game allows the player to examine the futile courage of the actual assault on Franklin.The two maps are not physically joined, and this leaves the players opportunity to maneuver somewhat differently and are not strictly tied to the mistakes of the original campaign.
