Shilo represents the American Civil War Battle of Shilo. It is an interesting game with an intriguing system in which the Union force get alarmed and into combat slowly. It is almost as if you can feel the soldiers getting up and emerging from their tents. As many games of West End Games this one is not well known, which is a shame really.Won the 1984 Charles S. Roberts Award.Shilo is related to Chickamauga, another West End Games game in the South Mountain series. - BoardGameGeek
