<br />I don't think I had that game, since I was not into the Civil war at the time, more interested in WWII.
I agree that a good Operational game is lacking. I always wanted to be able to see the big picture. It's nice to play Gettysburg, but how many people know were it is in relation to the overall theater and situation. How and why did it come about? What battles occurred to make it happen? What kind of gamble was it? What was the timeline for all these battles? Where is Fredericksburg and Antietam? Why did battles happen there?
I figured that a game would be interesting that provided this type of info. Campaigns starting at various points would be available with the players deciding on what they will do to win the campaign.

For those interested in the timeline, I have started a thread titled:
The Civil War- A weekly synopsis-Timeline
Where I try to show all the battles that happened chronologically, with the battle and victor listed.
For instance, there were 2 battles going on during the Gettysburg battle, one in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas.
Not exactly what you are discussing, here, but looking at the battles on a timeline is interesting.
