It's in the mail. Very good demonstration.

Good video, although the infantry can ignore a flag if they are supported by 2 adjacent units. 4:45.

Thanks for this, definitely a great overview!

Excellent video! Thanks for posting, still trying to find a reasonable copy of the game. I will be checking out the rest of your videos.

The French infantry on the hill were bolstered by friendly units on either side so they could choose to ignore the flag rolled by the British attack.

Is this the sound track from those old Talon Soft Napoleonic games?

[hellion]

thanks for that !
im intersted in the great war command and colors, but never played any game of the series.
the 2 players have their OWN SAME IDENTICAL FULL DECK to draw cards from, from turn to turn (i hope so) ? or do they share one common deck to draw from ?
thanks !

If it had minis like memoir or battle cry I’d buy it

[FrostRare]

Any suggestions for ways to seal the stickers onto the blocks?

[wxman]

Can the square battle back against cavalry in melee attack?

Finding a copy of this game is an absolute pain.

English light infantry consists of 5 blocks, not 4.
