Fading Glory
- Board Game. The Napoleonic 20 game system from Victory Point Games features lower-level wargame complexity on maps where, generally, 20 pieces or fewer are in play at one time (total, for both sides). This creates tense, dramatic & fast-playing situations on the board where higher echelon troop formations (generally corps) vie for position & dominance. Subscribers to C3i have recently enjoyed Jena 20, a game in this series which features eight pages of Standard rules & one-to-two pages of exclusive rules per title. Veteran game designer Joe Miranda, with developers Alan Emrich & Lance Mc Millan, have created & refined a highly popular game series that is growing all the time. (Based on Joe. s series rules, Alan, Lance, & Steve Carey have each designed one of the games in this multi-pack
- in addition to Joe. s Waterloo game.) A hallmark feature is the use of narrative random event cards that help tell the stories unique to each battle & small campaign. This friction of war element, combined with the operational-level maneuvers, combat, & even lulls, provide players a fun exercise in the Napoleonic parry-&-thrust of grand battles as armies close to bayonet-point to see which will break first. This edition
Includes:: the latest version (3.0) of the Standard series rules. Morale plays an vital role, as both sides can. spend. this resource to force march their units, help rally stragglers, or commit reserves to a key attack or defense. But look out.. when a side. s morale is reduced to zero, it has lost the game! Included in this Multi-Pack are: Salamanca 20 (Wellington vs. Marmont, 1812) Smolensk 20 (Napoleon vs. Barclay de Tolly in the near-battle to decide the Russian Campaign, 1812) Borodino 20 (Napoleon vs. Kutusov before Moscow, 1812) Waterloo 20 (Napoleon vs. Blucher & Wellington, 1815).
