Chantilly: Jackson's Missed Opportunity

A two-player historical wargame depicting the confused battle near Chantilly in September 1862. After the Confederate victory at Second Bull Run, Stonewall Jackson’s wing attempts to cut off the retreating Federal army, while hastily assembled Union forces move into position to block the advance. Players command brigades on a hex-based map, maneuvering units and resolving combat as Confederate forces seek to isolate and defeat the Federals before fatigue, mud, and resistance halt the operation. The game includes a scenario, 40 counters, and a four-page rulebook.
