Fast, simple, not expensive, little errata, but only reasonably fun. (War game Review)

In his review on BoardGameGeek, Brendan Whyte first turns a critical eye towards the components and rules and lists their shortcomings. Game play fares better: “…the game is fast and quite fun”. Whyte then goes into comprehensive details covering game mechanics and spares no criticism for the game opponent (AI). His discussion concerning solitaire board games vs solitaire computer games is very interesting.

Description:


This wargame covers the war in the east, focusing on the one hundred miles between the two rival capitals of Richmond and Washington. For four years, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Robert E. Lee, defended against the Union. This was the scene of most major battles of the war, including First and Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, and the Valley, Peninsula, and Wilderness campaigns. The first edition was published in 1993 and there have since been a 2nd (2004) and 3rd edition (2013). This speaks to the game's popularity.

Review

This review appeared in BoardGameGeek and is dated Dec 2007. The reviewer, Niko Ruf, covers game components, game play, leadership rules, and map terrain. He highlights what he thinks makes this a great game, giving it a 9 out of 10. While Niko Ruf doesn't say so, I believe this review might be about the 2nd edition.
