Heavily influenced by his popular "A Most Fearful Sacrifice", Herm Luttmann's Shattered Union series is a new line of American Civil War wargames designed to be accessible to gamers of any experience level. The series aims to provide a playable wargame experience in about three hours. Following the release of "The Hill of Death" and "Conquering the Valley", "Bring Out Your Men, Gentlemen!" is the third module in the Shattered Union series. The game covers the initial fight of the Second Battle of Manassas. Jackson attacks one Union Division but finds that "The Iron Brigade" is worthy of its name.
Players can fight the entire historical battle, a shorter version of the historical fight or an interesting "What If" scenario, where more Union forces have a chance to enter the fight. The Game is on a different scale than what was used in the first two games in the series. Besides using demi-companies, the rules on rallying forces differ and therefore the game better reflects the "stand-up" fighting conditions at Brawner's Farm.
