The Civil War wasn't only Gettysburg and Antietam. Our latest post dives into three dramatic, often-overlooked Western campaigns—Sibley's New Mexico gamble (1862), Banks and Porter's Red River fiasco (1864), and Sterling Price's desperate Missouri raid (1864). Deserts, bayous, prairie miles, and fragile supply lines turn grand plans into endurance tests. In Civil War Battles: Forgotten Campaigns, you can follow each operation and feel how weather, distance, and imperfect information reshape every decision. Grab the story—and then try it on the map.

From May 11 through May 17, this week's Game of the Week is Civil War Battles: Campaign Shenandoah, on sale for 25% off.

Covering both Jackson's famous 1862 Valley Campaign and the decisive 1864 operations against Early, the game takes players into a theater shaped by roads, rivers, ridges, timing, and rapid maneuver.

With 175 scenarios, multiple campaigns, editor tools, rich documentation, and a wide range of battles from Kernstown and Winchester to Monocacy, Fisher's Hill, Tom's Brook, and Cedar Creek, Campaign Shenandoah offers a deep and highly replayable treatment of this crucial Civil War theater.

Our new historical essay looks beyond the familiar question of whether J. E. B. Stuart "lost" Gettysburg and asks what cavalry was actually expected to do. From June 28 to July 1, Lee received fragments of intelligence but lacked a continuous mounted screen, while John Buford's cavalry kept scouting, reporting, screening, and buying time. The result was not Confederate blindness, but unequal situational awareness. Follow the roads and reports that shaped how two armies found one another—and how a meeting engagement became the Battle of Gettysburg.
