1864 covers one of the 19th century s least known conflicts, a brutal struggle for Schleswig and the Jutland peninsula as Denmark attempts to retain her holdings in Germany. The game is a quick playing, no-frills simulation which uses an odds-based Combat Result Table and Artillery Fire Table with a d10 roll to process combat. Headquarters can allow units to stack at greater limits and provide a little fog-of-war. Finally, a what-if option allows for Swedish intervention on the Danish side, as they had prepared around 30,000 volunteers to do so but it never came to fruition. It includes a 22x17" map, 140 counters, and 2 holding-box aids. WEIGHT: 3/10 SOLITAIRE: 6/10 —description from the publisher
