C&C Napoleonics Expansion 5: Generals, Marshalls, Tacticians

Commands & Colors Napoleonics is a war game based on the Commands & Colors (C&C) game system designed by Richard Borg.

The system is recognisable for utilising battle dice and a shared deck of command cards. The battle dice enable combat to be resolved efficiently. The command cards form the game engine, driving movement and providing orders for Units. They also serve to create a fog of war effect which add to the realism. Games utilising the C&C system also have a game board that is a hex grid. This grid is divided into three sections: Left flank, Centre, and Right flank.

Generals, Marshalls & Tacticians is the fifth expansion to the base game - which focuses on confrontations between Napoleons Forces and those of Great Britain. Showcasing engagements from Rolica in August 1808 to Waterloo in June 1815. Each of the first four expansions focuses on one national army (Spanish, Russian, Austrian, and Prussian).
