About this game

Fredericksburg is a tactical level simulation of the battle between Ambrose E. Burnside's Army of the Potomac and Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. During the bloody battle, 114,873 soldiers took the field and were hurled against 74,867 well-fortified Confederates. The result was predictable: an easy victory for the Confederacy. This game is part of the Quadrigame Blue & Gray II: Four Civil War Battles. Can be combined with Hooker and Lee: The Battle of Chancellorsville, May 2-3, 1863 to play Grand Chancellorsville.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
