ABOUT US: Tabletop History takes a different look on historical wargaming. While we love playing on real tabletops, during COVID-19 we are using our own unique digital models and boards to play virtually via Tabletop Simulator on Steam. We thought you would like to come with us on the ride! Grand tactical battles are our favorite, and we are currently playing our way through the American Civil War using Greg Wagman's "Altar of Freedom" rule set. Along the way, we review each battle as it happened historically - starting with Bull Run in July 1861 all the way through to the end. Be sure to like and subscribe to join us for historical reviews, games, and more every week!

Great video. Thank you for including Forts Jackson and St. Philips. As a Louisianan, I would love to see Milliken's Bend, Mansfield and Irish Bend in future videos.

Large Confederate invasion of Missouri took place in September and October 1864, producing large engagements, particularly in the Kansas City area October 21-23.

Excellent video. Honey springs has an excellent museum if you have the chance to get there. I’d love to have seen Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove included.
