First Manassas Battlefield Tour

[@brent1975]

This is why I really like this channel.

[@rodneip7077]

These short history vids add to the "flavor" of any of your games. I'll give it a 9 out of 10. I'll take one off so you keep seeking the 10!

LWTV - Bringing history back alive. If only for a brief moment or two.

[@sumerandaccad]

Appreciate the tours and comments you make. It brings the history to life. Not only that, for most who can't make it to these places it is better than a book.

[@TikkieTerug]

Loved that battlefield. Visited it all the way from Belgium and I was impressed by the way America perserves its history. Great video, thanks!

[@redmist1122]

Another awesome video guys! I like the off-beaten path of good stories like these. Thanks again for posting.

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks--we wanted to do something other than just visit the 3 or 5 most famous monuments. This park feels famous enough that a lot of people have probably seen the key spots. Always fun to unpack some of the other stories!

Had a great time playing the First Manassas scenario tonight from the AQOTP scenario book with Altar of Freedom. Solid CSA victory.

[@davidgrounds2168]

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Manassass - first ACW field I’ve been to. The kids from the local college jog up and down. And my favourite General, Sherman, was on the field - bored out of his skull.

[@Rubbseh]

Thoroughly enjoyable, many thanks

[@robertmoffitt1336]

You guys are THE BEST! The history that you bring to your videos is just terrific. Huge fan of your group and channel from Columbus, Ohio! Your vids are History Channel quality material, Thank You!

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks, Robert! We will be sure to let the History Channel know you said so!

[@acsmith70325]

I will be forming a club in my new studio when completed.

[@Blitz9H]

Thank you Gentlemen, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I always expand my knowledge.

[@jamesmartin3431]

From an English Red Coat keep up the great work

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks, James! --from your former subjects

[@13thLegio]

Visited this park last summer. I was so excited, some pee might have some out.

[@Stiglr]

Great job, guys!!! I took this tour myself a few years ago... with the unfortunate result that, I was there to tour for BOTH battles, and didn't *completely* chronicle either of them. Now I'll have to go back and see a few places I neglected to stop at. My highlight? Getting a bit lost in the walking train in the woods north of Matthew's Hill!!!

[@hamm6035]

I really like these historical videos. Greg I was back to the states in 78 on leave and visited Gettysburg battle field, could you ha email been one of the Rangers we met?

[@DH.2016]

"Back to the states in '78?" That was 42 years ago, Hamm .... mind you, it is rumoured Greg has a "Dorian Grey" type portrait of himself in his attic. 8-)

[@JonnyWatsonGaming]

Great video guys love the walk through! Keep them coming!

[@Stormwriter]

That was awesome. Could you now do the same thing for the other 299 battles? That would be great. :)

[@BDCSam]

great video! thanks so much.

[@michaelbee2165]

All family honor to my ancestor General Barnard Elliott Bee. Thank you gentlemen.

[@LittleWarsTV]

We tip our hats to you, sir. General Bee was a gallant soldier.

[@andrewsnelgrove667]

Great history Thanks Chaps!

[@seanmorgan2257]

Love these tours, really interesting to me as not being from that side of the pond

[@maxspeed8556]

Hey Greg I think you should give us a tour of Gettysburg and show ussomething in the average person may not know

[@SetoKaibaYu-Gi-OhChannel]

Born and raised in Manassas 😊

[@davidbrown4849]

Well done.

[@acsmith70325]

Thanks guys!

[@DH.2016]

I must try to re-visit these battlefields. There was too much ground to cover and see in the couple of hours we had available.

[@charlierichardson613]

Great video! Although not a “first”, I believe balloon(s) were deployed during the battle. At least McDowell called for them.

[@kennethp1423]

Good stuff. Keep it up

[@EtzEchad]

I so wish that your club was nearby where I live. It really looks like fun. I've looked around my town and haven't found a serious wargaming group. There are some in the Twin Cities but that is too far away.

[@princeofmoskova]

Loved the game, love the videos!

[@deathguarddavegoogley2022]

Look at Evan’s eyes. That’s a 1000 yard stare!

[@Nigel296]

Great to follow,your tour of the battlefield. May/e if your channel keeps growing you can come over to uk and do our civil war...... Naseby 1645 would be great for the LWTV magic

[@DeePsix501]

Hey Greg - I’m thinking of touring Gettysburg soon. Any tips or overlooked things to do?

[@jeromyfisher297]

Wish to thank you from the bottom my heart for this video! My family holds a letter that was written to the mother of a Union soldier family member that died at a field hospital next to running water or creek after being wounded in this battle. If I could ask you guys one thing, was there running water around this church somewhere? Thanks again.

[@LittleWarsTV]

Thanks Jeromy--and very neat that you have a letter like that from the battle. Sudley Church was one of the largest field hospitals on the battlefield, in part because of the proximity to the church (multiple Union surgeons worked here) and also because the creek. Sudley Springs is right next to the church, providing fresh water.

[@sumerandaccad]

I'm heading for Schenectady later this year from the UK. Any chance of a French and Indian Wars video and battle from the area?

[@sgktube4001]

What miniatures did you use for the First Manses Table.

[@johnwayneeverett6263]

YES YES YES ....

[@MegaGamer-lg7sp]

I thought you guys made a video on 2nd Mannasas.

[@LittleWarsTV]

Years before starting this channel we did film a 2nd Manassas game at the club, yes. It's still available online under a different, personal channel name. That video helped inspire this channel!

[@MegaGamer-lg7sp]

@@LittleWarsTV Ah! I thought I remembered seeing it SOMEWHERE unless it was someone totally different but I take it that it isn't available to the general public?

[@leslieblanco-velez5871]

That house behind you men; have electricity installed in the home? Please, answer me and I will tell you why.

[@gonzalosirera7103]

[@賴志偉-d7h]

It is a good story and probably not true. Google it up.

[@willkilla]

First signal flags on land battles? The navies had been using them on ships since the 17th century

[@LittleWarsTV]

True, signal flags had been used at sea for a long time and even on land since Roman times, but those were done at the battlefield level. First Manassas is the the first use of long range signal flags from 5+ miles away at a signal station during an active battle.

[@willkilla]

@@LittleWarsTV Ah, very interesting history! Thank you for the amazing work you and your team do!
