Thought I'd share some pictures of my play-thru of the main scenario in "Longstreet Attacks", the best game I've yet found on the 2nd day's fighting at Gettysburg and certainly the nicest looking:

Very nice. I've had my eye on this one recently. Revolution has some interesting games.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

The only other game I have from them right now is Celles on the battle of the bulge, but both games have really nice components and very tight rulebooks. I'll definitely look to get more of their games in the future.

I like Rick Barbers map work as well.

I'll be playing Konigsberg today.

Looks really good.
Longstreet is so overlooked because of working with Lee and Jackson.  And then criticising Lee after the war.
An interesting Quadrigame would be his four hugely successful attacks:
Second Day of Gettysburg.
Second Manassas.
Chickamauga.
The Wilderness.
And really the Seven Days battles were primarily his show.
He And Stonewall were almost a perfect pairing, but Longstreet was the heavy hitter.

That looks really nice. Love the maps.
