Fury in the West

Fury in the West is a board wargame published by Battleline in 1977 that simulates the Battle of Shiloh during the American Civil War.

Two years later, Avalon Hill purchased the rights to the game, revised some of the rules, and published it with box cover art by Rodger B. MacGowan.

In his 1980 book The Best of Board Wargaming, Nick Palmer found the rules to be "exceptionally clear and well conceived, with an extensive example of play dispelling any ambiguities which might remain."

Freeman called the map "a travesty", pointing out that the key defensive placement known as the Sunken Road was in the wrong spot.

Bisalsky concluded, "It captures faithfully the most important factors which decided the actual outcome of the battle: command control and heavy casualties.

He gave the game a grade of "B", saying, "The large hexes and the relatively small number of units in play make for an uncrowded map.
