Are these systems really that different though? I know they can be either chit based or card based but I thought they played very similar. I haven't tried A Most Fearful Sacrifice yet I have no idea...yet.

Yes, the base rules are very close. There is some adjustment to accommodate slightly different ground/unit scales, but the general principle is the same.

Maybe there is a slight difference in complexity from game-to-game, again depending on scale. From what I can see, the 'Shattered Union' version is a bit simpler than the Revolution Games series, while 'A Most fearful Sacrifice' look marginally more complex.

I've been playing all the 'Kernstown' scenario's quite extensively and have pretty much now had my few queries on the rules answered., so I now feel very comfortable with the series.

I shall be whispering in ears that the 'South Mountain' game would be a very welcome Birthday/ Christmas pressie..............

It is a great system. Now I have to investigate Kernstown. And A Greater Victory. And... dang, Bob, see what you have done?!?  :P

lol - And, how can you not have a Bull Run game, so best add 'The Day Was Ours' to the list.
