Johnny Reb is an ACW rules set of average complexity and scope. If you want to command brigades or divisions in the American Civil War, then you may want to use Johnny Reb as your rule set.

Currently, Johnny Reb fills the niche between the highly complex rule sets (such as Stars-n-Bars) and the simple rule sets (such as On To Richmond). When you add John Hill's considerable talents as a game designer to the need for a quality set of ACW rules of average complexity, you get Johnny Reb. As a result, Johnny Reb is one of the most popular sets of ACW rules available.
