Tabletop wargaming ACW.

Sid Meier's Gettysburg and TC2M introduced me to ACW wargaming But I also game the period in Hex and Counter (GMT glory series) and in miniature (Fire & Fury with 6mm Baccus miniatures).
I started doing acw miniatures only about two years ago, but got my figure collection to the point where I can do actual historical confrontations this spring. So far we've played 1st bull run and Port republic, the latter being a smaller game I did a demo table for. This is what happens when you don't allow map editing in SOWGB, I have to do it in eye-popping 3D!

Any other tabletop gamers out there? What system do you use? I found brigade level F&F to be suitably light for fast play but very entertaining.
