A Primitive Madness is a two-player wargame depicting the fighting that occurred at Sharpsburg, Maryland on this deadly day. It utilizes the Black Swan ACW wargame system, first used in the popular A Most Fearful Sacrifice game, its Pipe Creek expansion, and then followed by the equally successful The Rock of Chickamauga. Like the Blind Swords game system (which is closely related to this series) the Black Swan system emphasizes the three FOW’s of war … the Fortunes of War, the Friction of War and the Fog of War … but at a grander scale and with lower rules overhead. Players will be challenged to deal with a developing battle situation - never quite sure of what the Gods of War will throw at them.
