Designed by Frank Chadwick and now published in a 3rd edition by Phalanx Games, 'A House Divided' is a popular title covering the whole of the American Civil war at the strategic level. This simple but ellegant design can be enjoyed by everyone. A non-wargamer could easily take this from the shelf and play it as the designer intended, without needing anyone to teach or interpret the rules. Equally, by using the advanced and optional rules, regular wargamers will enjoy the strategic challenges of the game.
