Command Cards

Using command cards, you’ll order your troops to move, attack, and/or do something special. There are two types of command cards: section cards and tactic cards.

Section Cards

When you play a section card, the card will indicate how many and which type of units you may order to move and/or battle. The card will also indicate in which section or sections of the battlefield you may issue orders.

Tactic Cards

Tactic cards feature special rules that enable units to move and/or battle in unique ways or that create other effects as noted in the text of the card.

FAQs

These are answers to questions posed to and answered by Richard Borg regarding the Wizards of the Coast game Battle Cry: 150th Civil War Anniversary Edition. This FAQ also includes some of Richard Borg’s answers to questions about the original edition of Battle Cry which still apply to the new edition.
There are also a number of unofficial fan answers that direct readers to appropriate passages in the rules where an answer may be found until an official answer from the author is given. When possible, fan answers have a page reference to the Battle Cry: 150th Civil War Anniversary Edition rules.
While there is some overlap between the two editions of the game, players are reminded that answers that apply to one do not always apply to the other.

Special thanks to Battle Cry: 150 game author Richard Borg for his participation in reviewing the content and answers of this FAQ. Also to Walt Mulder for compiling, maintaining, and sharing the official original Battle Cry FAQ on his website, much of which has gone into the creation of this latest edition. Finally, to Michael Dippel for allowing the inclusion of his line of sight diagram. The BC: 150 FAQ is compiled by Brady Severns. You can send him Geek-Mail about the FAQ via his user name
(BradyLS) at boardgamegeek.com.

FAQ Organization: The questions and answers are given under headings that parallel the organization of the rule book: The core body of the Rules, Terrain, Command Cards, and finally the Scenarios.
Consider where the heart of your question falls and browse to that section for the answer. To further assist players in playing the game, some fan-made line of sight and fence diagrams are included at the end of the FAQ.

Variants

The variants below are intended to add to the enjoyment of the game while maintaining the built-in simplicity Richard Borg designed. For additional, more varied options, check out Links above.
