Stonewall in the Valley

A campaign-level simulation of Jackson’s spring 1862 operations in the Shenandoah Valley, covering March to June and using one-day turns and one-mile hexes. Players command Confederate and Union brigades and regiments across three linked maps that show roads, trails, railroads, villages, mountains, and waterways relevant to maneuver and supply. The Union side aims to hold key Valley regions while the Confederate side seeks to expel Federal forces. Play supports one, two, or team players, multiple scenarios of varying length, and linked-map play with earlier volumes to depict a larger eastern theater. Components include unit counters, maps, charts, dice, and scenario/historical notes.
