Chancellorville 1863 uses many of the concepts from Freeman's Farm 1777. What stays basically the same:
- Combat
- How formations are activated and the receiving of momentum cubes by the play of formation cards
- The use of leaders like Gates, Arnold, and Burgoyne - now Lee, Jackson, and Hooker
- The use of tactics cards
- Hidden movement - the game uses minimaps that allow for some hidden movement and variable setup of some formations.
- More movement - formations frequently move on the board and combat occurs when two formations of opposing sides end in the same location.
- Reinforcement by transfer of cohesion points between formations
- A card driven solitaire engine
- Formation cards allow for multiple formations to activate with major and minor activations. Major allow two moves while minor allow one move.
- Prepared positions - spend your activations to build redoubts.
