Shenandoah, subtitled A Civil War Game of the Valley Campaigns 1862 and 1864, is a two-player board wargame published by Battleline Publications in 1975. One player commands the Union and the other the Confederacy across Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Valley Campaign and the 1864 Union drive up the valley under Sigel, Hunter and Sheridan against Jubal Early. Its 375 counters represent infantry, cavalry, leaders, artillery, supply, forts and devastation, and rules cover formations, chain of command, wagons, weather, forced marches, partisans and cavalry raids. Attacking costs a movement point, so a unit can press repeated attacks. Critics found it complex and introduced new mechanics, and it did not prove popular with players despite favorable reviews.
