Lee vs. Grant: The Wilderness Campaign of 1864 is a two-player board wargame published by Victory Games, an imprint of Avalon Hill, in 1988. It simulates the opening campaign of Union general Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign against Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Virginia during the American Civil War, with one player commanding Union forces and the other Confederate forces across the Wilderness terrain. Designed by Joseph Balkoski, with artwork by Rosaria Baldari and Ted Koller, the game earned two Charles S. Roberts Awards, the hobby's leading wargame design honors, and became the first title in the Great Campaigns of the American Civil War series that Avalon Hill continued with further campaign simulations.
