First Blood (1st & 2nd Bull Run) GBACW

Product Description

Theme:      ACW     

Open copy, never played. Overall condition is excellent, given the age, all the counters remain unpunched. There is some light foxing/staining to the game booklets, and they have rusty staples. The four maps are also excellent, there is a hint of grubbiness to the rear of each map (more to the touch than the eye) - certainly nothing that would impede gameplay and I'm being very nit-picky. Very light shelf-wear to the game box.

Covers both 1st and 2nd battles of Manassas using the Great Battles of the American Civil War (GBACW) sustem.

First Blood brings two battles, both of which occured at Bull Run/Manassas, Virginia, into the Great Battles of the American Civil War game system. The First Battle of Bull Run puts the green Union army on the road south to what everyone expects to be the only battle in a short war. But Major General Irwin McDowell's larger force meets the rebel army under General Pierre Beauregard, while General Joe Johnson's more seasoned rebels troops are also about to enter the fray. The Second Bull Run has the Union army commanded by General John Pope attempting to split Lee's Army and crush Stonewall Jackson's forces before Longstreet's wing can bail him out.
