About the Game

Bloody Roads South: The Battle of the Wilderness May 5-7, 1864 - The South's Last Chance is the fifth game in the Civil War Brigade (CWB) Series from The Gamers and the first to use the 2nd Edition CWB rules.

This battle was the beginning of the coordinated campaign which lasted from the spring of '64 through the spring of '65 which ended the war in a Union victory. A Confederate victory here might unravel the Union master plan and send the Union's leading general, US Grant, back in disgrace. If Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia fail to do so here, it will be the beginning of the end.
