Maybe something to think about (WDS or another publisher?)

[2-81 Armor]

Well I do think this is an interesting idea. I wasn't trying to pour water on it.

My concern was how you would implement combat but I guess all attacks would be resolved 'in hex' so basically the equivalent to a PzC/ACW assault. No ranged attacks with 1 mile per hex?

I never had an AH/MMP game but I have had plenty Bde level ACW games. How many Brigades would you be able to stack in a mile?

Right. Attacks would have to be in hex as you say. Ranged attacks would be impossible really, given the effective ranges of ACW artillery (even ships). Stacking would have to be based on either total men/guns or maybe strength points. (This should be pretty generous - I live about 20 miles from the Gettysburg battlefield, and a lot of people express "amazement" at how small the battlefield actually is in proportion to the number of troops engaged - it was well over 100,000 or so combined I believe. Even Napoleonic affairs that were huge like Leipzig didn't occupy as much space as we might think.)

Here's a link to the Boardgamegeek (BGG) entry for Stonewall Jackson's Way that also has internal links to some reviews both written and video. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9935...s-bull-run

I think the link and reviews do a much better job than I ever will describing things. Of course, any developer would have to make changes and implement his own ideas to avoid any legal issues. This series should be looked upon as an inspiration of concept only.

Anyway, I'm just a player with a few thoughts, certainly no programmer or developer. Others (if anyone) would have to decide if this idea is even feasible.....my bet is it'll never see the light of day.
