Description

The Gallant Grenadier' is the Small War set of rules for the 18th century. It accurately addresses the intricacies of 18th century European warfare including the need to maintain proper formations, platoon fire vs. fire by rank, cavalry and artillery. Flank and rear attacks are devastating just as they were at the time. The Two Page Rules series features rules that are 2 pages long with one combat card that has the information needed to play the game. The sequence of movement is decided by a dice roll and after that, the games follow the sequence of move-fire-move-fire. Casualties are decided simply and effectively. Morale is divided into 4 stages with the chance to rally at each stage. New players should be able to conduct their own transactions by the third move. These are combat rules that reflect the tactics and technologies of their era. Decisions are made by players, not cards or dice. These rules can be used for nearly any scale of the figure. They are great for large or small battles. —description from the publisher
