Blue vs Gray: The Civil War Card Game - Historical Scenarios - 2nd Manassas

BLUE vs GRAY: THE CIVIL WAR CARD GAME

	SECOND MANASSAS (2ND BULL RUN) Both sides deploy as below and place any leftover cards in numerical order use Historical Scenario rules regarding Late-War & Emancipation. The game begins on Step 3: Combat of the CSA turn. (In game-terms, the actual battle lasted for this turn only.) Victory is determined as in a normal game.
	POPE'S EXCOMMUNICATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After Lincoln gave up on the Peninsular Campaign (and McClellan), Lee decided that Pope must be “suppressed.” After two months of indecisive sparring (exemplified by Cedar Mountain), Lee launched a bold, all-out offensive. He sent Jackson around the Northern army and, while Pope was distracted, Longstreet smashed into his unattended right flank, producing one of the finest triumphs of Lee’s career. ~ ~ ~ It is late August 1862. Will Lee be content merely to hold the line or will he attempt to evict Pope from northern Virginia? Might he even immediately pull up stakes and invade Pennsylvania via the Shenandoah? It’s all up to you.
