Review
Rich Hasenauer has published a Great Eastern Battles Scenario book for his very popular ACW rules. Seven of the major battles from First Bull Run to Antietam are described with complete maps, troop lists and victory conditions to recreate them with Fire & Fury rules. Of course they can be used with any set of Brigade level ACW rules. This the companion to his previously published Great Western Battles Scenario book with its 6 battles from Shiloh to Atlanta. All the scenarios are large, assuming from 5 to as many as 9 players and taking between 5 and 10(!) hours. The hobby would welcome a booklet of smaller (2-4 player, 3 hour games) scenarios - perhaps "What-if" scenarios to get smaller games. At $19.95 for the Eastern and f$15.00 for the Western booklets these are recommended for any Civil War Gamer.
