1870: Grand Tactical Rules for the Franco-Prussian War
Grand tactical rules for recreating large battles of the Franco-Prussian War, with each player typically commanding one or two corps. The system emphasizes formations, maneuver, movement, fire, and morale while limiting detail suited to smaller-scale actions, allowing battles involving several divisions or corps to be completed in an afternoon. The book includes fourteen researched historical scenarios covering both the Imperial and Republican phases of the war, along with plausible “what if” variants. Historical notes, orders of battle, an annotated bibliography, diagrams, examples of play, formation illustrations, color photographs, and reference sheets support custom scenarios and play at multiple scales.
