Commands & Colors: Napoleonics

Recreate several battles from the Napoleonic era as French and British commanders on a tactical map. Players command brigades of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, issuing orders via a shared deck of command cards that determine which units can move or fire each turn. The card-driven system creates a fog of war and tactical constraints; players must manage their hands to exploit openings, coordinate unit types, and use terrain to their advantage. Victory depends on maneuvering forces, timing attacks, and getting the most from the available command cards.
