Battle Cry (game)

Battle Cry is a board wargame based on the American Civil War, designed by Richard Borg and published by Avalon Hill in 2000.

The supplied General figures are physically identical but the scenario setup identifies each one as a historical person.

The player who scores the required number of victory points, as determined by the scenario instructions, is the winner.

According to reviewer J.C. Connors "Battle Cry's simplicity means that grognards who cut their teeth on past Avalon Hill games ... will probably find themselves unsatisfied.

"[2] Battle Cry won the 2001 International Gamers Award for General Strategy, 2-Player category.

[3] The title, Battle Cry, was also used for a 1961 Civil War board game produced by the Milton Bradley Company as part of their popular American Heritage series, which was reprinted in the 1970s.
