Produktbeschreibung
From Valmy to Waterloo is a set of tactical and grand tactical miniatures rules covering the period from 1792 to 1815. The emphasis is on command and control, with each nation's abilities depicted by year. The grand tactical level of the game accurately reflects the difficulties and time delay in issuing and reacting to new orders without weighing the system down. This allows some armies to react to a changing situation more quickly than others. Although the French enjoy a greater level of flexibility on the grand tactical level, on the purely tactical level most armies had very similar abilities and this is reflected in From Valmy to Waterloo.
The game not only forces players to use the correct tactics, but as a result of using the rules the player is shown an appreciation for the proper tactics of the period. Now for the first time, the depth of formations is as important as their frontage. Players must attack and defend in depth, due to the fact that events unfold much as they did historically.
From Valmy to Waterloo for the first time accurately portrays the scale of a Napoleonic battlefield for miniature gamers. From Valmy to Waterloo is for 5mm figures to 15mm. The gamer need not rebase to play and enjoy the rules. The level of detail is high, but the inclusion of the "cheat sheet" book, from which the game is played, allows the game to progress at real time rates.
