Lee's Invincibles: Gettysburg Campaign of 1863

A two-player wargame covering the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign, from Fredericksburg to Harrisburg. One player commands Lee’s Confederate army, seeking to defeat the Union forces, capture Washington, D.C., and secure independence; the other commands Hooker or Meade, aiming to defeat Lee and force his army across the Potomac. The game uses a sturdy map, labeled blocks, dice, and a battle board, with series and campaign-specific rules. The map can be combined with those from the other games in the series to represent additional Eastern Theater campaigns. Games are designed to play in two hours or less.
