📖 About This Game
These are simple and straightforward Napoleonic rules for miniatures, based on orders’ counters placed on the table face down. Orders directly determine unit’s actions and combat outcomes.
The rules are at Regiment’s level, the name by which units were known by Generals, therefore minutia pertaining to the Company and Battalion organization are not directly addressed, they must be considered as factored-in.
The scale and abstraction levels are best represented by 1:100 (15 mm) miniatures or smaller, but card counters can be used instead.
There is minimal use of dice, for marginal effects only.
Army lists are not needed: just take any battle map and setup Regiments as they were deployed in the real situation.
Any basing system will work, no base modifications required.
This edition will be for Continental wars only, From Montenotte to Paris.
There are no markers, bookkeeping or cumbersome tables.
Note: if not using the base offset system proposed, shaken and square markers will be required.
Characteristics:
Miniatures Scale: 1:100 (15 mm) or smaller
Simulation level: Regiment’s level; mildly abstract.
Speed: very fast.
Solo potential: very high.
