Description
The Campaigns of Robert E. Lee is a two-player wargame in which one player controls Union forces and the other controls Confederate forces.[1]
Each turn starts with the player bidding on how many operations effort points they wish to use. The higher bidder takes their turn first. The player uses operation effort points to move and attack. Then the other player has the same opportunity. Play switches back and forth between the players until operation effort points have all been expended. This completes one game turn, which represents five days.[1]
Leaders form an important part of the game, enabling units to move and attack more efficiently.[1]
Scenarios
There are ten scenarios included in the game that run from the Battle of Manassas in 1861 to the final Battle of Appomattox Court House.
