Description

Road to Richmond is an extra Blue and Gray Civil War Quad game, first published in Strategy & Tactics magazine #60. Also released in Folio format From the introduction: Road to Richmond is a simulation of the engagement between Robert E. Lee's Army of Nortern Virginia and George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomc during its change of base to the James River in June and July, 1862. During the union withdrawal, Robert E. Lee proved his strategic genius and generalship in spite of the heavy losses to both sides. Richmond had been threatened by a superior force of Federal troops and now they, not the Confederates, were withdrawing to a defensive position. Soon after the campaign, Lee would move north causing the subsequent Federal withdrawal to Washington.
