(BP1530)
With eagles gleaming and musket volleys ringing, seize the moment and lead your regiments of brave lads onwards to victory! Earn your Marshal’s baton today, as you master the art of moving regiments of dashing horse, valiant infantry and menacing artillery batteries all massed together in divisions and corps.
The author’s aim for this book is to equip readers with all they need to know in order to play an authentic and flavour filled Napoleonic game with model soldiers on the tabletop. To this end the book provides players with detailed rules, pictures and examples of play so that they may “get on” with the fun bit, of commanding, moving, shooting and launching their troops in gallant chargers across the battlefield quickly and without too much fuss.

“The Napoleonic wars began in the ashes of revolution, regicide and the new French Republic and ended with the exile of an Emperor.”
Grand Battles Napoleon is a strategic wargame where you as the General are responsible for a Napoleonic Corps. The smallest tactical units are regiments of infantry, regiments of cavalry and artillery batteries. Players move these units in formations, called divisions, across the games table using a unique initiative system.
A turn is not You-Go-I-Go. Instead players active divisions based on a modified D6 roll. The winner acts or forces his opponent to act. This continues round by round until all divisions on both sides have had a chance to act.
Games are incredibly fluid with each player in the game always each turn, acting or reacting out of turn to the opponent’s troops or rolling for initiative to activate more troops.
Games can be played in any scale from 6mm through to 28mm and charts are available for each scale.
