Sounds ambitious, doesn't it? A single scenario that incorporates the ACW battles of Mechanicsville, Gaines's Mill, Glendale and Malvern Hill? We played it in an evening at the club. If you'd like to see how it worked out, there's a photo-AAR here: link

That looks interesting. I've thought about BBB but can't seem to find a set of the rules. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome, Kevin. Glad you found it interesting. I think the main retailers carrying BBB in North America are Brigade Games and On Military Matters. Hope that helps!

Brigades are easy, try it with regiments.

This is where BBB really shines. Truly big battles and operational theaters. Not so convinced when I see them used for Vimiero or such.
