Description

Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign comes to an end when they face two Union armies on consecutive days. If he can defeat the Union forces, Jackson's men can rejoin Lee near Richmond.

This game is the second entry in the "Shattered Union" series of American Civil War battles. It combines the smaller battles used by the Blind Swords system with the card system used in the "Black Swan" system. It uses regimental units due to the small size of the opposing armies so it should play quickly.

This series, like the other two, have Hermann Luttmann's finger prints all over it so don't worry if you don't see his name on the box.
