A few years ago, Mark Herman designed a small scale low counter density simple system game for a magazine wargame called Gettysburg found in C3i Magazine #32. We played the game at the World Boardgaming Championships and really loved the focus on maneuver and positioning of forces. Fast forward a few years, and Mark was dabbling with that same system to establish a new American Civil War series of games called the Civil War Heritage Series with its first entry called Rebel Fury from GMT Games that takes a look at 6 battles from the Chancellorsville and Chickamauga campaigns in 1863-1864. These battles include Chickamauga, Chattanooga, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg.

In this video, Alexander and I play through the Fredericksburg scenario.
