Great Balls of Fire – American Civil War Skirmish Rules by Adam L. Dobbyns

Born during the lockdowns of 2020 and inspired by countless viewings of Gettysburg, Great Balls of Fire is a characterful and cinematic skirmish game set during the American Civil War. Written by renowned game engine designer Adam L. Dobbyns, this ruleset captures the unpredictable drama of the era with a bold “Americana” flavor that sets it apart.

Designed specifically for the classic eM4 Blue & Grey plastic miniatures, the game features:

• A Weapon Prime mechanic to reflect the temperamental nature of Civil War firearms

• A Scripted Wound Narrative that keeps every firefight dynamic and story-driven

Originally lost and then rediscovered by chance, this lovingly restored ruleset is a must-have for fans of historical skirmishes and unique indie game design.

Lock, load, and relive the chaos—Great Balls of Fire awaits.
