The Dark Valley: The East Front Campaign 1941-45, was titled after a Winston Churchill quote to Joseph Stalin, referring to “the dark valley” of the war. More or less as a joke, I promised when The Dark Valley was published that any future games using a variation of the rules system for TDV would include

Mounted Troops in Death Valley

Weapons and tactics tend to evolve over the course of longer wars. The American Civil War was no exception.

In previous articles, I described the way the game handles late
