One of 9 games released by Helen Of Toy Game Company that graced many a comic book from the late 50's into the early 80's. Cannon Ball is a classic Comic Book War Game with a Civil War theme. The Comic Book Ad claims the game was dedicated to the 'Fighting Heroes' of the Battle of Chickamauga,where '34,400 troops were killed or wounded.' Cannon Ball seems to have included 64 3D Toy Soldiers representing Blue & Grey Civil War Troops as well as a Playmat and multiple Accessories such as 'Exploding Bridges' (these were small hard plastic pieces which were triggered by rubber band tension, similar to the Tank Trap War Game's 'Exploding Tanks.') The Troops of Cannon Ball were evidently made by GIANT in Hong Kong. However, it has also been suggested that some versions of the Game featured generic/non-brand-name Troops clearly made with the same GIANT molds but not stamped with the GIANT logo. - BoardGameGeek
