Do you play any ACW games?

Just bought my third game of the Gettysburg battle. I now have Last Chance For Victory, The Three Days Of Gettysburg and a Most Fearful Sacrifice. Sincerely hoping that I get a chance to put them on the table one day. I'm not a huge ACW gaming fan, but would like to try it. Do you ever participate in this genre?

I only play Battle Hymn (Compass Games) which covers Pea Ridge and Gettysburg.
I have been waiting for vol. 2 (Shiloh, Bentonville) for about three years.
It is a chit pull system, with easy to learn rules. A successful development of famed Across Five Aprils (VG) by same designer Eric E. Lee.
Easy to play solo.

We just started playing A Most Fearful Sacrifice. Overall I like it so far (Have only played the first 2 scenarios). It can be a little confusing at first ( or it could be I have been playing the Blind Swords system, currently Thunder at Dawn, for a while now and that is causing the confusion ). It is similar to the Blind Swords ACW games but they are not the same.

I would start with the smaller scenario till you get the hang of it. If you do start with the smaller scenarios you might find some of the cards a little over the top but we think they will be more balanced in the larger scenarios.

I'm no expert but if you have an questions I'll try to answer them.
