Lee's Greatest Victory: Chancellorsville 1863

Area-impulse game on the Battle of Chancellorsville, fought in Virginia’s Wilderness in May 1863. Players command Union divisions and Confederate brigades, with historical leaders providing combat bonuses at the risk of being wounded or killed. Each turn consists of an unpredictable number of impulses, so neither side knows how many activations remain. Players maneuver, attack, construct pontoon bridges, and use entrenchments while responding to shifting momentum. The campaign lasts six turns and typically plays in up to three hours, with optional rules for weather and additional units.
