What is MIOW? 

Set-up is basic, pleasing to the eye and quick to organise. 

The Momentous Issue of War is a simple to learn and surprisingly intricate game based loosely on the American Civil War, and visually inspired by the style of Kriegsspiel, the original wargame genre.

It uses an 8x8 square grid (a chess board would work for the budget gamer), block-based armies, and various forms of simple terrain.

Available units are infantry, cavalry, artillery and commanders, play is in "I go you go" format and the game is deceptively tactical.

Easy to learn and easy to play means that you can crank out your first game within an hour, while the varieties of board layouts and armies will keep you coming back for much more.

HOW CAN I BUY IT?

The book has just been funded on Kickstarter and is available for purchase on WARGAMES VAULT now. 

The game is designed to be portable, easy to play and quick to learn. 

How much will it cost? 

The game costs about $12 on Wargame Vault, no more than a few cups of coffee!

It's not a big book but we have worked very hard to bring it up to an extremely high production standard with beautiful colour photography, art work and quotes from historical figures.
