Against the Odds: Birth of a Legend - Lee and the Seven Days

"Birth of a Legend" is Michael Rinella’s newest area-map game, and the second to apply his award-winning Not War But Murder impulse game system to the American Civil War. The game will include one 22” by 34” inch area map, 176 large counters, and 16 pages of rules and charts that include extensive examples of play, designer notes, and variant rules, all to ensure many enjoyable game sessions on this campaign that played a decisive role in American and military history.
