In this episode, Little Wars TV refights the first major battle of the American Civil War, First Manassas. Our wargame plays out on a huge tabletop, in 15mm scale, with the classic "Fire & Fury" rules. Before the battle, Greg and Tony debate the legacy of General Irvin McDowell. Was he really such a terrible choice for commander-in-chief of the main Federal army? How close was McDowell to winning the battle historically and how sound was his plan of attack? Let's find out!
Next week we'll be back with an in-depth rule review of "Fire and Fury," followed by a battlefield tour from the National Park!
