Battle Cry (Milton Bradley game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Battle Cry was a popular grand strategic American Civil War board game produced by the Milton Bradley Company as part of their popular American Heritage series.

Originally published in 1961, Battle Cry was reprinted in the 1970s. The game was part of a series of four titles (a fifth was added in 1975) printed in the early 1960s to tap into the growing interest in historical games, including wargaming. Battle Cry was introduced in 1961 to coincide with the centennial of the Civil War, and proved to be a popular seller for several years.
