	Description Edit \| History

A new entry in the Civil War Brigade (CWB) Series.

This is an update to August Fury. In addition to the Second Battle of Bull Run, it adds the First Battle of Bull Run, as well as a hypothetical Third Battle of Bull Run in late 1863, after Gettysburg.

It comes with three 22 x 34 inch maps, two countersheets, and rules books for each battle, as well as version 3.0 of the CWBS series rules.

The large map area lets you play the full campaign of each of the three battles. There is a large amount of room to maneuver. There are also a large number of poor leaders who can refuse to move, misunderstand your orders & generally frustrate your plans.

There are options to have better leaders (like Grant, in 1862) take command.
