the Grant books are certainly centred on scenarios that are carefully tailored for wargaming. Very useful.
However, there's more. Taken in chronological order, they document the growth of his (+ family & friends) growth as a SYW wargamer.
Bare bones at the beginning, they add all sorts of extras - siege warfare, water transport, light troops, historical implications, campaigns - fascinating stuff.
I only own 5 of his books but you read & re-read them. BTW you virtually never see them second hand & then for outrageous prices.

Mark, here's an example of Grant's maps. Taken with my phone, so not the best shot, but you should get the idea.
Much of a muchness, mate. The only real differences are that you name all the units, not just the pompous buggers in charge of groups, while he shows higher ground in shades of greenish.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?
