Description

In June of 1863 Alfred Pleasonton and the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac would face J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia near Culpepper Virginia in what would be the largest cavalry battle in North America.

Last Full Measure is a free print-and-play game system of battles of the American Civil War. Brandy Station is the seventh game in the series.

A brigade scale game that uses regiment counters, as opposed to generic line markers, to spread the brigade over multiple hexes according to its size. Ranged artillery fire, cavalry charges, command and control, all in only eight pages of rules. Play aids include Player-aid card with CRT and other charts and table; Eliminated Units card, Order of Arrival card, and 272 2-sided counters.

The Battle Book includes two Scenarios; Groveton, August 28th: The Full Battle and Longstreet Arrives, August 29th and an initial strength chart.

The map measures 39" x 35" at a scale of 250 yard per 3/4" hex.
AND just added (July 25, 2018), a 21" x 35" map extension to the west with a new Order of Arrival card to accommodate the new map.
A new ZunTzu box also incorporates the new map extension.
