Battles of Napoleon is an epic game series that simulates the most famous battles of Napoleon on a tactical scale sharing an elegant and cohesive ruleset.
This system emphasizes the art of coordination and timing in a cat-and-mouse struggle of formations. Players must balance bold orders and careful management, facing constant pressure to make critical activation decisions that dictate the pace of battle.
An advanced chit-based activation mechanism ensures dynamic gameplay:
Players decide which formation to activate when a chit is drawn.
Formations can be activated multiple times per turn but lose effectiveness with each activation.
Strategic decision-making begins at the start of each turn, as players issue orders to their formations. Aggressive orders bring greater risks of fatigue and collapse, creating a thrilling balance between ambition and sustainability.
The scale of the series is appr. 150 meters per hex. Infantry units are battalions; artillery are batteries, and cavalry are represented as regiments.
