I like how they do the movements of the armies/units in the overall Campaigns, leading up to the battles , then zoom in to the particulars of the battles.

Can't wait for Gettysburg!

That link made my day! It's great to finally be able to visualize the troop movements and engagements that were (for me) so difficult to understand by looking at maps. Thanks for sharing!

A very interesting site indeed. A round of accolades is bestowed upon samgrant for this site. I have enjoyed watching the troop movements and engagments.
