The Army of the Heartland: The Army of Tennessee’s Campaigns, 1861–1863

Product Type: Standalone strategic-operational wargame.

The Army of the Heartland is a strategic-operational American Civil War wargame covering the Confederate Army of Tennessee’s campaigns in the Western Theater from 1861 to 1863. Designed by John Prados, it uses the same general scale and system family as The Campaigns of Robert E. Lee, shifting attention to Kentucky, Tennessee, and northern Georgia.

The game focuses on major western campaigns, command challenges, operational movement, and the difficult strategic situation faced by both Union and Confederate forces. This is a strong choice for experienced Civil War wargamers interested in the often underrepresented western theater.

Contents include: 560 die-cut counters, 2 maps, 2 army display sheets, 1 32-page rulebook with charts and tables, 9 scenarios, and a campaign game scenario covering 1863.
