A House Divided (Revised)

Description
A House Divided simulates the epic struggle of the American Civil War that was fought over the twin issues of slavery and state's rights. The period from 1840 to 1861 saw these issues brought to a boil, and in 1861 the nation became tangled in a terrible war that lasted four long years.

The game depicts the war between North and South from the First Battle of Bull Run (or Manassas Junction) to Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse – or Grant's surrender at Harrisburg... Each player leads one of these two nations and makes the strategic decisions which determine the outcome of the war.

The game board represents the United States, north and south and from the Atlantic coast to just west of the Mississippi. [...] The play map contains a number of boxes, each representing a city, town or locations important to the war. These boxes are connected by transportation lines – blue for rivers, tan for roads and black for railroads – which provide the paths to victory or defeat.

Can you keep the Union whole or force the separation of the United States?

This mod is a revision of a previous mod by Naveed in 2017, here on TTS. The lion's share of the resources were from that mod and I only added some rules updates, a few missing counters and those for the advanced rules, the stack exploder mod from Mangofeet, and some ambience to enhance play a bit.

Mod Contents:
House Divided Basic, Advanced, and Optional PDF rules;
Large high-res map;
Battle Card for combat resolution;
Admin counters, basic and advanced game Confederate and Union counters, and 3 leader tokens (advanced game);
Dice rollers and a dice thrower (muzzle loading cannon); and
Some kick ass Civil War era background theme music for both sides.

NOTES:
This mod incorporates Mangofeet's (here on TTS) stack exploder mod which allows stacks to be examined with a right click and choosing the explode option.

The board game that this mod is based upon is solely owned by Asmodée Éditions as far as I can tell. I believe it is currently out of print. I will immediately remove this mod if I am informed by the owner that there is any copyright infringement. Please visit their website (above) to see other great games and to purchase a copy of this fine game as I did. It's well worth the money.

Special Thanks:
Many thanks to Naveed, here on TTS, for his awesome mod which supplied the lion's share of the resources in this mod.
Cheers to Lily, here on TTS, for the ever awesome Kraken table.
Kudos to Mangofeet, here on TTS, for his awesome stack exploder mod.
Gratz to all Board Game Geek members for their continued efforts to provide images and resources to aid us in our TTS endevours.

Also, the snapping on the battle board is offset. This might just be a quirk of the software though, but just FYI.

Great job as always! Although I'm getting an error for the silver ball called "Grant". Not sure what it is, but game is very much playable.
