Thanks for the video! I have this setup on my table and am in the process of learning it. Everything seems fairly straightforward so far, with the biggest hurdle being the naval movement rules, particularly on rivers and coastal hexes (had the same difficulty learning that part of GMT's The US Civil War).

Good to know Jamey, thank you. I have Combat Infantry (Columbia Games) coming today, and that will be my next game I do multiple videos on. Then I should be able to tackle War for the Union. Trying not to dive too far into it before I actually have to... it's not a small game!

This looks more my speed. Imperium Romanum is a beautiful game, but more than I could handle. This might be more than I would play. Honestly, think the Civil War games from Revolution Games are more tempting. Those maps were gorgeous and the system can be applied to 3+ games. Wayne, I am screaming "Uncle." Too many beautiful games!

You got that right bud. There are so many great games out there. And they all starting to look beautiful. They get it, wargames can look good and still be great games. Those "Blind Swords" games from Revolution are great and I love them. As you can probably tell from my Longstreet Attacks videos!

Thank you for the video. I have begun to read the online rules for this game and will look forward to future videos with at least a play-through of a turn or two. Honestly, at this point the question for me as a potential customer is whether time spent with the game would be spent mostly in actual play or mostly in looking up issues in the rules. I have been burned before by games that turned out to be too complex. Currently, I am enjoying fiddling with ways to add more accurate historical "chrome" detail to the highly playable and enjoyable Civil War strategic game A House Divided. Therefore, the much more detailed The War for the Union game would have to still be playable enough to divert me. Please note that I live in Oklahoma, a short drive from your Springfield MO. Perhaps I could drive over for a session of A House Divided or perhaps an introductory scenario of The War for the Union.

Hey John, I understand what you're saying. Without having dug into it too much, it certainly isn't a light game... but I'm not sure it appears too complex either. Other than, it is definitely a large game (monster? mini-monster?), and I know the larger scenarios or campaign game will be long. But as for how well the rules flow and how the playability is vs nose in the rulebook? I hope to find out soon. And for the record I do plan to do a couple videos on this one. Right now I have Combat Infantry (Columbia Games) on the table and that comes first. But War for the Union videos should come after that.

Hi Wayne. I sent you a FB friend request and I have a question. Did you ever do a play through video for The War for the Union from Compass Games. If so, please provide the link in your reply.

Hi Wayne, thinking about picking this one up, or waiting for the GMT reprint of The US Civil War. Which would you recommend? I don't see alot of coverage of this one.

Hey Josh, unfortunately I won't be able to help you with this one. I unloaded this game as I realized I don't have the space for two-mappers. At this point I only play games with one full size wargame map or smaller. I will say The US Civil War is only one map, correct? If so, I'm likely to pick it up and check it out.

Two whole months have gone by and I wonder if you have had a chance to play War For The Union. Is it playable? I know the components look good, but so far I have not found a real review of it as a simulation/game.
