Our take on Hold the Line: The American Revolution
The defining detail is the action-point limit: every turn forces choices between moving, attacking, rallying troops, and making sacrifices, because not every order can be issued.
What is Hold the Line: The American Revolution?
A strategy game based on Worthington Publishing’s board game about battles of the American Revolution.
Players command American or British forces and use a limited number of action points each turn to order movement, attacks, rallies, and sacrifices. Each scenario gives both sides distinct objectives and can be played from either perspective.
