Maida 1806: Stuart vs. Reynier

This game depicts the 1806 Battle of Maida, where British forces under Sir John Stuart defeated French troops led by Jean Louis Reynier. It focuses on infantry tactics, including the British bayonet attack preceded by effective rifle fire. Players choose orders and formations for their battalions, represented by counters for lines, columns, squares, and detached tirailleurs. Line formation provides greater firepower, while columns support bayonet charges. Commanders are drawn from a shared pool to determine which units can move and when firing occurs. Fire causes morale checks, while reacting units may fire, counterattack, or flee. A small French cavalry contingent and artillery add further options. The game uses a limited number of counters and straightforward core procedures, with play centered on timing and formation selection.
