“Gentlemen, in seeking combat as we now do, we must win or perish. Should I fall, whoever succeeds to the command will do so with the resolution to go through the enemy’s fleet, or go to the bottom. Should they carry us by boarding, the ship must be blown up; on no account must it fall into the hands of the enemy. Go to your guns!” Commander Issac Brown spoke those words to the crew of the CSS Arkansas just prior to engaging three Union vessels on the Yazoo River. The Arkansas steamed into history that day when she not only defeated those three vessels but ran past a large Union fleet in the Mississippi River and successfully docked at Vicksburg. Under Both Flags is a game system for recreating this and many other historical or fictional Civil War naval battles. Players can maneuver and conduct combat using 1/600 or 1/1200 scale miniatures in a playable yet detailed manner. Under Both Flags utilizes a Maneuver Order system that eliminates the need for writing down movement orders and a combat system based on a 10 sided die that reduces constant reference to game charts or tables. The Under Both Flags system is presented in PDF document format on a CD allowing original purchasers to print game components as needed for play.
