Description

Published in Decision Games's Strategy & Tactics issue #169 The Atlanta Campaign: Peachtree Creek & Jonesboro presents two additional American Civil War wargames for their venerable "Blue & Gray" system. These games are based around the fighting for Atlanta, Georgia during the American Civil War and each wargame, named for the individual battles they portray, is directly continued and combines with Strategy & Tactics Issue 170, Atlanta Campaign: Bald Hill and Ezra Church, to allow gamers to recreate the entire "Atlanta Campaign".

This set of games are often referred to as "Blue & Gray Second Edition" with the series rules being only slightly updated with the standard rules still fully backward-compatible with previous games already published in the Blue & Gray.

This "Second Edition Blue & Gray" series started with Seven Days Battles Seven Days Battles covering battles from the Peninsula Campaign (a stand alone game never released in magazine form), and Strategy & Tactics issue #166 with the battles of Savage Station and Olustee then continuing with Strategy & Tactics issue #170 which covered the first half of Atlanta Campaign: Bald Hill and Ezra Church and with which this game can be combined into a single, large campaign game that covers key fighting in four major battles around Atlanta, GA during the American Civil War.
