Malvern Hill: The Battles of the Seven Days, Volume III

About this board game

Malvern Hill: The Battles of the Seven Days, Volume III is a 1–2 player game with an approximately 240-minute play time, covering the battles of Glendale and Malvern Hill from June 30 to July 1, 1862.

Released in 1999, Malvern Hill is the 13th game in the Civil War Brigade (CWB) Series. It focuses on the closing battles represented in this volume of the Seven Days campaign, giving players a dedicated game centered on these two engagements.

The Seven Days campaign is presented across three connected games. Together, they cover the campaign in sequence:

• Gaines Mill: The Battles of the Seven Days, June 1862, Volume I
• Seven Pines
• Malvern Hill: The Battles of the Seven Days, Volume III

Malvern Hill can be played as its own game, or connected with the other two titles to recreate the entire Seven Days campaign. This linked-campaign option makes the game part of a broader series presentation of the June 1862 events.

With its focus on Glendale and Malvern Hill, the game offers a concentrated look at the campaign’s June 30–July 1 battles. Its two-player format also supports a head-to-head experience, while the listed one-player option allows the game to be played solo.

For players interested in the Civil War Brigade Series or the Seven Days campaign, Malvern Hill provides the third volume in the campaign sequence and a way to extend the connected experience across all three games.
