Like this like I like Guns of Gettysburg…but simpler to play, and teach guys and kids as well who don’t read rules, and likely never going to. Chit draw leaves each game a new direction, yet very historical. Play this and you can play any games in series and enjoy over and over, switching sides and wanting to do better and try with other side. Course I enjoy my Johnny Rebs.

I bought this game before going to Gettysburg, mainly because I thought it would help get the family amped up about the trip….I was right! The game itself is stunningly beautiful! I did splurge and get the canvas map, I’m glad I did, it’s just outstanding! All of the components are top quality, the tube stores everything nicely, tho as a gamer, storage on the shelf is an issue. Game play is good, replay is also good for a game based on a specific battle. It’s faithful enough to the battle, yet simple enough for a non war gamer to play….
