"Hayfoot! Strawfoot!" is a war game set during the American Civil War. It simulates the first battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia. The game uses the exclusive "Huzzah!" battle system from Homegrown Designs.

Available Now | From Homegrown Designs

"Hayfoot! Strawfoot!" concentrates exclusively on the First Battle of Bull Run. Three scenarios comprise the Introductory Games, each a critical turning point in the battle:

  • "There Stands Jackson Like a Stone Wall" simulates the opening hours of the battle and challenges the CS player to hold terrain critical for Jackson’s counterattack 
  • "Strike for the Green Graves" presents the opening assault on Henry House Hill by 3 regiments in Porter’s brigade (it might be best to play this scenario first).
  • "We Will Give Them the Bayonet" is the battle at critical mass; here Jackson launches his attack against the unsupported Union artillery on Henry House Hill.

The full game features the entire day’s battle, from the first shot to the last Yankee straggler. Will Stonewall save the day? Only the players and Lady Fortuna will tell… 

Veterans of the "Huzzah!" system should reread the Series Rules (the Huzzah v4.0 Battle Manual) before jumping into the Introductory games. There are significant differences between versions 3 and 4.
