The Little Wars TV crew recently played the entire 3-day Gettysburg scenario in a single afternoon, and playing that size engagement with seven players can be daunting. They required a faster version of the game and I set out to design one for this purpose. My design priorities were twofold: (1) Cut the time required to play a large, multi-day battle in half; (2) Keep the core game mechanics intact. 

Both priorities are satisfied in the new speed play rules available now. I made a short video explaining how the variant works and what the changes are, but you can download a free copy of this one-page supplement right here on the website. It's under the Free Downloads section, and the PDF link also appears below.  

In the season two premiere of Little Wars TV, Gettysburg gets the full treatment using Altar of Freedom! The format and production quality of this video stand out as a top-notch effort. Not to be missed!
