About the Game

Strategy & Tactics magazine #86.

American Civil War battle of the same name. 'Stonewall' Jackson against political general Nathaniel Banks as a prelude to Bull Run, August 9, 1862. A meeting engagement, Banks launches a spoiling attack against a superior CSA force and then has to conduct a fighting withdrawal to survive. The game uses the Great Battles of the American Civil War system. Victory is determined by capturing and holding geographical objectives and killing units.

Each Game-Turn represents 30 minutes of real time, and each hex covers about 125 yards from hex side to hex side. Each Strength Point is the equivalent of 100 men or 1 gun.

This is Volume 4 of the original SPI Great Battles of the American Civil War series.
