[QUOTE="Sif, post: 73987786, member: 382195"] George McClellan is a very interesting commander to study. I remember a quote, supposedly said my President Lincoln of McClellan: "He has a case of the 'slows'." I think it was in reference to events after Antietam. My initial impression of McClellan, after ready Shelby Foote's Civil War history, was he was a good general but lacked the "killer" instinct of some of the Confederate Generals such as Lee and Jackson. Speaking of strategic Civil War board games. I have a copy the old Victory Games edition and I also have the U.S. Civil War printed by GMT Games and designed by Mark Simonitch. It is very clearly based on the older Victory Games version. Both are very good simulations of the war at a strategic level. The GMT version is a bit more streamlines but the older one does allow for the addition of the Far West theater and allows the play of Sibley's attempted invasion of the Union's Western territories and Canby's counter at the Battle of La Glorieta Pass (Near modern day Santa Fe and the background setting for the Western Classic, [U]The Good, The Bad and The Ugly[/U]) [/QUOTE]
