This strategic beast packs three revised and rebalanced historical campaigns, including the legendary Battle of Gettysburg. With beautifully redesigned maps by Charlie Kibler and a standardized rule system, you'll command armies in epic battles that shaped America. Featuring 18 basic scenarios and 5 advanced campaigns, its hex grid and dice mechanics blend strategy with unpredictability.
