After several months of play, Dan K. and I finished up our play of the monster 7 Days campaign. The final VP tally was in the very narrow draw range. Throughout the game we evenly matched each attempt to dislodge the other from their defensive positions, resulting in high casualty rates. The final bid to break the stalemate was to attempt the Union supply train rebase, but Dan managed to cut off the supply wagons from reaching the James River. This left us with two exhausted armies facing off, each unable to gain advantage on the other...by any analysis a draw.
For this extended day campaign model to fit with the Brigade Series rules, you really need to use the optional fatigue rules...but they sure are cumbersome. Way too much bookkeeping, literally tracking every shot taken and even being shot at! However, if you have the time and the space, there is nothing that compares to this as the total Civil War experience.
