This booklet is a scenario book for the battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. The booklet presents a history of the two battles; maps and orders of battle (with units rated for Fire and Fury); a history of the Red River campaign; a biography of Richard Taylor; tips for beginning gamers; and a bibliography.
Overall, this package is a great bargain at $8.00 postpaid. You will find much useful information here, even if you do not play Fire and Fury. As this is an amateur production, the production values are below those set by Johnny Reb III or Fire and Fury. However, don't let its appearance fool you. Mr. Kropp's interest in the campaign (and the American Civil War) show through in the thorough research which benefits this production.
I recommend this to anyone interested in gaming these battles or this campaign, or those who just want to learn about it. Contact: Richard Kropp, 325 S. Main, Hallettsville, Texas, 77964 to order or to obtain information.
