## Reception

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."

Johnny Reb was awarded the H.G. Wells Award for "Best Miniatures Rules of 1983".
