- This is a detailed unboxing of the two-player wargame Tattered Flags: Into the Whirlpool. Designed by Hermann Luttmann and published by Blue Panther LLC. This is the first game in the Tattered Flags series of games.
Tattered Flags: Into The Whirlpool is a hybrid historical miniatures / board game design that simulates tactical American Civil War combat in a playable format. The game depicts in detail the series of engagements that occurred in and around the salient formed by Union General Dan Sickles' III Corps as he was attacked by Confederate General James Longstreet's Corps at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2nd, 1863. The game is primarily designed as a two-player game, one player taking Union forces and the other the Confederate (or Rebel) forces. However, more players are easily accommodated as commands or sectors for each side can be divided amongst multiple players.
Since most players do not have the time, funds, or eyesight to paint armies of miniature figurines, Tattered Flags uses ready-to-play cardboard counters to substitute for such miniatures. The game also uses a detailed battlefield map in lieu of miniature terrain models in order to provide the player with an accurate playing surface, complete with every significant terrain feature depicted on the map. The map is overlaid with a grid of eight-pointed spaces which serve to help players easily regulate the movement, facing, and firing range of each unit counter as it moves and fights across the landscape.

Seriously looking at it-waiting for your play through
Playthrough should hit UA-cam next week.
That is a beautiful looking game. Thanks for this unboxing.
It really is a gorgeous production.
Looking forward to a awesome playthrough!!!
You and me both! Haha, playthrough coming next week.
I thought the counters were on MDF at first. I haven't had time yet to dig into this one, but looking forward to it when I do!
Nice unboxing. BTW If you like the weight of the counters, get metal dice. I love how this game has percentages - a perfect use for my 10 sided 00-90 dice and normal 10-sided dice, both solid weighty metal. You'll never go back.
Anyway, a really great looking game and having just today finished reading Gods & Generals (pre-Gettysburg) and about to read The Killer Angels (Gettysburg), nice timing.
Agh, I've just realised that Blue Panther is the same publisher that Historic Wings (Thomas van Hare) uses, and they don't ship to New Zealand. *_Really_* frustrating!
I'll have to check out some of those metal dice you keep talking about 😁
Thanks so much, Wayne! Hope you get your replacement sheet soon. And I hope you enjoy the game play as well. If gamers like the system, there are so many possibilities for the series and not necessarily all ACW either. All the best and thanks again!
Got the sheet just a few days after I emailed Steve over at Blue Panther, they always give good customer service. Just been getting into my first play, looking forward to trying out this system and seeing what you guys have created.
