📖 About This Game
Battles of Napoleonic Europe: A Solitaire Wargame focuses on the Peninsular War with British, Portuguese, Spanish and German forces battling against Napoleon's French army. In the game, the Player will be commanding various units, often representing many hundreds of men each, seeking to achieve various Objectives. The aim of this book is to present a clear, accessible, and quick to learn game, so that players can get into the action quickly. It does not try to replace more complex wargames which often take many hours to learn and to play. Each of the Battles can be played in around 30 to 50 minutes, and each one should provide plenty of replayability due to the random set up of the initial forces.
This book is a solitaire hex and counter style wargame. You play the game, and the enemy is controlled by the game book (or the Artificial Intelligence or ‘AI’). You will need a good handful of standard six-sided dice to play. Rules, full colour Battle Maps and counter sheet are included.
