Three Battles of Manassas

About the game

What is Three Battles of Manassas?

Three Battles of Manassas, is three games in one and covers the First Battle of Bull Run, gives a second-edition treatment of the 2nd Manassas battle (originally simulated in the CWB first edition game August Fury), and takes a "what if" look at a potential 3rd Battle of Manassas in the fall of 1863. 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. The 14th entry in the Civil War Brigade (CWB) Series.
