This Hallowed Ground &#8211; This has the other part of the classic painting the Skirmish Line from the Civil War game cover. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/1826110\/hallowed-ground\">This Hallowed Ground &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\n4. Napoleon at bay &#8211; The OSG version has a beautiful classic art piece of a hussar on horseback, but the later version from AH would get on my worst cover list. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/865137\/napoleon-bay-campaign-france-1814\">Napoleon at Bay &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\n3. Winter War &#8211; one my favorite S&amp;T covers with a photo of an Finnish infantryman in his winter camouflage in the snow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/82052\/winter-war-russo-finnish-conflict\">Winter War &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\n2. The American Heritage Command Series (Dogfight, Broadside, Battle Cry, Hit the Beach) Totally caught my imagination as a kid when I got them from my dad. Dogfight is the best with a Albatross being shot down by a Spad. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/204982\/dogfight\">Dogfight &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\n1. Here Come the Rebels from Great Campaigns of the Am. Civil War. All the AH covers for the series used the art of Keith Rocco &#8211; similar in style to Don Troiani. HCR is my favorite cover even though it is of the 21st Ohio at Chickamauga and not from the Antietam campaign. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/195077\/here-come-rebels\">Here Come the Rebels &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\n<p>Honorable Mentions<\/p>\nAfrika 2nd Ed &#8211; with the iconic photo of Commonwealth infantrymen taking a German tanker prisoner and Rommel looming in the background. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/882163\/afrika-2nd-edition\">Afrika 2nd ed &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\nPrice of Honor &#8211; The Polish cavalry charge so much action in the art <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/843678\/conflict-heroes-price-honour-poland-1939\">Price of Honour &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\nA house Divided first edition &#8211; On the receiving end of a Confederate charge through a cornfield. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/image\/2380128\/house-divided-war-between-states-1861-65\">A House Divided &#8211; box cover<\/a><br \/>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sticking with the ones I own.
