About this game

Dixie appeared in Strategy & Tactics magazine #54, Jan-Feb 1976 as well as a folio edition. From the introduction: Dixie is a brigade/division/corps level simulation of an alternate-history conflict. Dixie posits that the Confederate States of America had successfully waged the first American Civil War and survived as an independent political/economic entity. The game further posits that these two independent countries wage a modern war during the late 1930s. Variant counters and rules were published in Strategy & Tactics magazine #226 - Jan/Feb 2005.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
