A game of the Battle of Stones River.
In a bitter cold Tennessee December, the Union Army of the Cumberland under Major General W.S. Rosencrans faced the Confederate Army of Tennessee, commanded by General Braxton Bragg. Both generals decided to fall on the enemy's left flank, and the confused battle that followed was one of the most desperate and savage of the Civil War. To recreate this fierce encounter, Murfreesboro provides an innovate brigade level simulation that reflects the difficulties involved in moving and fighting on battlefields of the period. Each counter occupies two hexes, and, coupled with rules for leadership, morale, routing, capturing artillery, exhaustion, and ammunition depletion, the game becomes a vivid representation of the actual event.
