Stonewall's Last Battle: The Chancellorsville Campaign (1996)

About this game

(from the back of the box:) Stonewall's Last Battle: The Chancellorsville Campaign is the fifth volume in the Great Campaigns of the American Civil War Series. You can recreate that epic campaign from the start of "Fighting Joe" Hooker's bold flank march across the Rappahannock to the climactic battles around Chancellorsville. Included is a beautifully ren­dered game map of central Virginia which includes the Wilderness, Fredericksburg and practically the whole length of the Rapidan and Rappahannock Rivers. This highly accurate map is based on original Civil War maps in state and county archives.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
