C&C Napoleonics Prussian Army

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.

The Prussian Army is the fourth 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. A copy of Commands & Colors Napoleonics is required to play with this expansion.

This expansion includes 20 new scenarios highlighting engagements between the Russian and French armies. Scenarios range from the battle of Schleiz (October 1806) to the battle of Wavre (June 1815).

Also included are:
15 double-sided terrain tiles
2 Player aids. 1 Russian national unit reference card, 1 French national unit reference card
229 wooden blocks. Gray blocks represent Prussian units, and Dark Blue blocks represent French units.

This expansion introduces a new game mechanic, specifically for the Prussian Army: Iron Will. The Prussian Army was notable for its discipline and obedience. This is represented by Iron Will counters, available to the Prussian commander. An Iron Will counter can be discarded to ignore a retreat flag rolled against a unit. Each counter can be used once, the number available will vary from scenario to scenario.
