| Sounds good to me. I play Tiller's game too, but it takes forever. This game is at Brigade level.

| This game remains a classic and one of the great civil war games. Looking for an opponent. Matrix has this game on sale during holidays for less than $10.00. For those of you that are familiar with Gary Grigsby's games, this one is on a much smaller scale than most of the rest of his games. This is ... |
