How to PLAY "With Hot Lead and Cold Steel": A Deep Dive!

'With Hot Lead and Cold Steel" Osprey's new America Civil War miniatures rules are out and we are here to help you learn the rules! This video is on the long side but takes you through and entire game. We start out slow to give you a thorough explanation and pick up the pace as we move on. We use a scenario that we wrote after visiting the battlefield of Antietam...its not the famous Miller's cornfield that we will be fighting over but the 40-acre cornfield...less well-known but just as decisive.

*NOTE - We misinterpreted how you roll for ADC points. An overall commander rolls one die per side and distributes the ADC points to sub-commanders. (Per the rules author!)
