Compass Games has just released The Price of Freedom, a new card-driven game of the War Between the States, by Renaud Velaque.  For a limited time, you can still order the game at its $45 pre-order price.  The following description is taken from the Compass Games site:

The Price of Freedom: The American Civil War, 1861-1865 is Renaud Verlaque’s second design (after the award-winning Age of Napoleon) and his first design published by Compass Games.

The Price of Freedom is a grand-strategic game allowing two players to recreate one of the seminal conflicts in American history and a precursor to the total wars that marked the 20th century.

Using an original card-driven system, The Price of Freedom provides strong historical flavor in a simple game that consistently can be played in under three hours. This makes The Price of Freedom an ideal game for today’s gamer’s busy lifestyle, for tournaments, and for introducing new players to the hobby.
