Reception[edit]
Dana Lombardy comments: "John Hill's Civil War miniatures rules remain innovative, challenging, and lots of fun, a claim supported by the game's loyal fan support. Clubs still stage Johnny Reb sessions at conventions around the world, more than 20 years after the rules were introduced."[1]
Johnny Reb was awarded the H.G. Wells Award for "Best Miniatures Rules of 1983".[2]
