- Dedicated to Civil War episodes,
battles, people and ships that also appear in GMT’s Rebel
Raiders on the High Seas, my next game.
April 5, 1863
- Historical Event: Shipyards in Liverpool prepare the Alexandria for service as a blockade runner.
- Game Connection: The
Confederate player may build blockade runners in England. As in the
war, such vessels play a key role in bringing war material
(represented as cargo points) that the South may convert to military
use, and as Victory Points which enable the Confederacy to continue
the war.

Advance)
