Description
This latest title in the hit Combat series is a gripping account of the fighting between cavalry of the Union and Confederate armies at small-unit level. It presents new insights on the role of cavalry in the age of massed infantry gunfire and gives close attention to the qualitative differences between the two sides. Augmented, as usual, with stunning Osprey artwork.
