Description

August Fury - The Second Battle of Manassas, is The Gamers' third game in its Civil War Brigade (CWB) Series. It follows games on Gettysburg and Antietam. For the first time, the series turns its focus onto a lesser-known battle, recreating the course of events during The Second Battle of Bull Run, which lasted from the evening of August 28th until nightfall on August 30th, 1862. Using two maps, I have attempted to recapture all of the critical elements of this battle, which ranged from Bull Run Creek almost to the foot of Throughfare Gap."
