8 pages of rules for a Gettysburg game? It's either shite or - nice and simply and "a game" as opposed to a learning experience.

Given the problems I had with Longstreet Attacks initially, this might be a breath of fresh air.

It's on my wishlist though

In view of the fact that I'll probably never be able to get 'A Most fearful Sacrifice', this may well be a realistic contender.

JD, do I sense that this is on your shopping list?

Genuinely not sure.

Longstreet Attacks has kind of muted my taste for ACW. I have Gettysburg and Pea Ridge by Compass which I like and The US Civil War. That might be enough.

I have to say though - 8 pages of rules is very enticing.

Its a pretty simple, straightforward system, and I do like the attritional combat rules. Plays very fast and looks nice.

Yep, it sure is.

Not on my buy-list at £110 though. I need to save up for Vol.V of LHY :-)
