Strike of the Eagle is the first game in the new Fog of War series. This series covers pivotal wars of different eras, allowing players to relive and learn about the struggles that took place.
The heart of this unique series lies in players placing secret orders on the map during each turn to bluff, mislead, misdirect and outplay their opponents! The orders are then revealed and executed by the player's armies that are represented by wooden blocks of Brigade and Division strength forces of between 1500 to 8000 men. The exact composition of a player's forces is kept hidden from their opponent until battle is engaged.
Strike of the Eagle is: 1) Fun (Quick simultaneous play allows players to interact without waiting), 2) Devious (A cat and mouse game of deception, hidden orders, diversionary movements and concealed units), 3) Easy (Teach a new player how to play in less than 5 minutes), 4) Wooden Blocks (Depict infantry and cavalry armies), and 5) Consistent (Each game in the series uses the same rule system).

July 21, 1861 the raw untried armies of North and South meet for the first battle of the American Civil War. Will you take the part of General Beauregard of the Confederate States of America defending Virginia or the part of Union General Irvin McDowell seeking to stop the rebellion of the south and re-unite the nation? Simple game mechanics center on a system where command opportunities are determined by dice, action cards and the frustrations of command are eloquently portrayed.
Simply put, the Union Army of Northeastern Virginia must seize Manassas Junction or rout the Southern Army to achieve victory.The Confederate Army of the Potomac & Confederate Army of the Shenandoah win by routing the Union army, avoiding rout, by seizing the Northern town of Centreville, or simply denying the Union victory.

Mayfair doet op hun site alsof Fog of War al uit is. Maar ja, dat doen ze ook voor de heruitgave van 1830....
Het 1e spelsessie verslag van Test of Fire op BGG doet me vermoeden dat ik deze Wallace voor de verandering laat liggen. (Ben wel benieuwd hoe het zit met Aeroplane dat Wallace blijkbaar ook voor Mayfair aan het maken is)
