Overview

A miniatures rule set for recreating Napoleonic battles. Supplemental rules also provide for recreating Seven Years War battles. Units are infantry battalions, cavalry regiments and artillery batteries. Infantry units with flank and rear support receive benefits in melee, which encourages Napoleonic linear tactics. Rules support large-scale battles well and the SYW supplement also works very well. Army lists are included with the rules and a book of scenarios is available.

Scenarios for these rules:
