Battleground 7 – Bull Run
Hints:
——
When first learning the game, try a short scenario with a
small map. These games can usually be completed in a few
hours and won’t overwhelm a new player with lots of units
to control. Try the Blackburn’s Ford scenario from 1st Bull
Run as the Confederate player.
Artillery:
———-
Use artillery units with support from infantry to help take
well-defended positions. Artillery at short range is deadly.
It can cause three to four times the damage of regular small-
arms fire and can quickly blow holes in enemy lines even
against the best defenses.
Cover:
——
When playing against the computer, remember that sometimes
the hint of an attack will be enough to send its units
scrambling for cover.
Positioning:
————
Be sure to keep brigades and their commanders close together.
