Nah, this was about 12 years ago that the store gave it to me
If You can find any of the games by Avalon Hill in the Great Campaigns Of The American Civil War series pick it up and give it a try. Old fashioned AH counter tabletop game. Not too complex. The maps are top notch. Each one comes with multiple scenarios. Here’s a site that shows them all;
Three Battles of Manassas looks really good if you want to get really in depth. Second Manassas is one of the most astounding and forgotten battles of that war. The third is a ‘what if.’
RE Lee CWG is good and I wish I could get part 2 to work.
I’ve been wanting to get the Sid Meier games.
As for boards, Battle Cry looks a lot like Memoir '44, which I have not played. How is that for quick games that don’t require a history lesson or an explanation of Wargames to the person I want to play against?
I just finished a civil war game… i will post pictures soon… you lucky people.

ok here are the pics.
Damn…that looks pretty cool.
Is it done, and how much?
Also, why is the map so concentrated? Is it because of the victory conditions (i.e. take D.C. = over for the Union)?
Is it done, and how much?
++++Yes, cost $240.00 for map and rules the map is 4x3 feet ( high price is cost of printing on uber high quality plastic tiles… will last a lifetime without any wear.

Concentrated? not sure what you mean…
victory conditions:
Confederate Victory:
Union Victory:
Gettysburg by Avalon Hill -boardgame : pretty good, but hard to find (out of print)
Antietam by Talon Software -hex based PC game great game, can get boring though
Gettysburg by Talon Software -same as Antietam
Sid Meier’s Gettysburg -five stars as a top notch out of print PC game (this title is scarce, but you can find free downloads of the demo online)
Sid Meier’s Antietam - five more stars
I don’t know of any other civil war games, but I hope this helps.
