The blocks are a variety of colors, as are the labels: blue, grey, green, white, red, among others. The blocks and labels to not identify the two opposing sides, as is the case with other pub battles games. The units – blocks and labels – also represent a unique departure in Pub Battles games, and by their very nature help to capture much of what made Bull Run such a unique battle. The map covers all of the areas along, north, and south of Bull Run creek that affected a widely distributed battle, again covering far more of the campaigning area than earlier games of the battle.
