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.

The south has interior lines which helps with defense and supply. The south starts with most of the great leaders. And the south has General R.E.Lee who as an Army Commander is deadly. Plus, fog of war favors the south allowing them to shift forces out of view of the union. After playing this game f...

Gary Grigsby's War Between the States is a neglected classic. I actively play it and have for years. Its a strategic game where maneuver, supplies, leadership, and production all play roles. 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. I think the reason it is not as popular is that the players want to get right to it whereas in WBTS leadership, supplies, maneuver, and production all play major roles. Historical leaders, human product...

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 ...
