Top 5 Civil War Games

Are these the top 5 civil war games?
These rankings are based on average scores given by members of a group of gamers.

* 5. Stonewall Jackson's Way which links well with
* 4. Here come the Rebels, based on the Battle of Antietam.

These two together would make a great combined campaign game.

* 3. Roads to Gettysburg, now out for print but ebay once again is a great source of second hand games, many still shrink wrapped.
* 2. On to Richmond, a game which relies much more on careful logistics. As one of the gamers says "You can't just move an army on a whim. You better be able to supply it."
* 1. Grant Takes Command which is now out of print but it can be found on ebay for around $20-50.was the highest ranked, civil war game
