 A
Brigade / Division-level simulation of the First Battle of Bull Run on
July 21, 1861. The game begins with the Union player turning the left flank
of the Confederate army. As the Union attack develops, additional Confederate
leaders and combat units are activated and rush to stem the Union advance.
The Union player wins if they are able to capture objective hexes. Both
sides are able to achieve automatic victory by capturing their opponent's
base of operation. Game-turns are about 30 minutes and hexes about 1,000
yards. Optional rules for infantry screening artillery and infantry forming
brigades for defense. Low to medium complexity.

An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
