Gary Grigsby's War Between the States is a strategic level game with plenty of room for tactical maneuvers. Leadership and supply have a big impact. Game has great detail.

Railroads, rivers, naval landings, naval engagements, and the great generals commanding their armies. Its at ... |

Sounds good to me. I play Tiller's game too, but it takes forever. This game is at Brigade level.

Maybe we ought to consider playing one for the website and have a discussion after our moves. What do you think. This game is a neglected classic, as you well know. |

This game remains a classic and one of the great civil war games. Looking for an opponent. Matrix has this game on sale during holidays for less than $10.00. For those of you that are familiar with Gary Grigsby's games, this one is on a much smaller scale than most of the rest of his games. This is ... |
