Overview

Gather your armies and fight over 3 positions. Cards represent infantry or cavalry regiments or artillery batteries. The uniform colors and styles are the uniforms that the regiments actually wore (according to the designers). You also have cards representing the participating generals , terrain and the ever present special events. It is a collectible card set but with a flat rarity. There is the original set of 200 cards representing the Battle of Bull Run. The second set at 400 cards was the Battle of Shiloh. The third set at 250 cards was the Battle of Gettysburg. All artwork and graphics in the Dixie series were created by RPG/Historical artist, Eric Hotz.
