GRAND BATTERY: A Guide and Rules for Napoleonic Wargames

1-194540

The book provides a concise historical overview of the events and battles of the period, and includes sections on the weapons and tactics of the various armies. The buyer's guide gives an up-to-date survey of the wealth of ranges of miniatures available and advice on which are compatible with which.

Organizational tables give a breakdown of typical formations for all the major combatants and most of the minor ones (any one for a Wurttemburg infantry division?), allowing you to structure your collection and also to organize hypothetical games quickly with 'off the peg' orders of battle. Three historical scenarios are also included, each with their own specific orders of battle, maps, objectives and victory conditions.

The rules utilize an innovative card-driven turn sequence to simulate the unpredictable ebb and flow of battle and are designed primarily for division level games with 25 or 15mm figures.
