Full publisher description

(from MMP website:) Stonewall Jackson s Way II: Battles of Bull Run is the 9th game in the award-winning Great Campaigns of the American Civil War (GCACW) series. This game is actually two complete modules in one: it includes a complete revision and augmentation of Stonewall Jackson's Way (SJW; the first game in the series), and an entire new module covering the First Bull Run Campaign, called All Green Alike (AGA). The two maps included are newly painted by original map artist Charlie Kibler and include new historical and terrain details (to bring them up to the standards of the latest games in the GCACW series). Stonewall Jackson s Way II: Battles of Bull Run uses the same GCACW Standard Basic Game Rules that were first published in MMP's The Skirmisher #1 and Grant Takes Command . The Advanced Game rule sets are also standardized so players will be able to move quickly from one campaign to the other. All Green Alike: The First Bull Run Campaign, July 1861, includes five Basic Game and two Advanced Game scenarios. The Basic Game scenarios feature two Shenandoah Valley scenarios and two scenarios at Bull Run The two Advanced Game campaigns cover the advance and aftermath of the campaign.
