La Campagne de Gettysburg, 1863 (1996)

About this game

"La Campagne de Gettysburg, 1863" covers the Gettysburg campaign from June 22 to July 13, at two days per turn. Fog of war is significant, as befits the scenario, and rules also exist covering engineering operations, weather, reinforcements, and munitions supplies. The map covers an area from Harrisburg PA in the North to Harper's Ferry in the South, and from Martinsburg in the West to York in the East. As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations are available online.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 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.
