About the game
JACKSON & SHERIDAN: VOLUME III focuses on the 1862 & 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaigns from Lynchburg to Harper’s Ferry. As Jackson can you drive the Yankee army out of your beloved valley, forcing Lincoln to draw troops from in front of Richmond? As McDowell, Fremont, and Banks can you defeat Jackson and push east to finish the Confederacy in 1862 saving thousands of lives and years of turmoil? Refight 1864 as Sheridan and Early duel from Washington to Lynchburg. Each game focuses on one or two particular campaigns from the war. The maps may be joined to lay out the Civil War in the Eastern Theater with campaigns from 1861 to 1865. Each box game comes with a 22" x 17” sturdy game map, blocks, labels, series rules, campaign specific rules, battle board, and dice. The games are playable in 2 hours or under. Also, all three games boards can be combined for additional campaigns.
