Thunder on the Mississippi: Grant's Vicksburg Campaign

Thunder On the Mississippi is the latest design in the award-winning Great Campaigns of the American Civil War series. It depicts Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s 1863 campaign to capture Vicksburg.

Thunder On the Mississippi uses the latest version of the GCACW Standard Basic Game Rules, which also apply to all other games in the series. After more than a quarter-century of refinement, these rules are extremely well organized and relatively easy to learn, even for series newcomers. Two new terrain features unique to the Vicksburg region are also introduced: loess hills and coastal bluffs. The Advanced Game rules cover situations specifically applicable to this unique campaign starting with an amphibious invasion, followed by sweeping cross-country movement ending in siege warfare.
