De Bellis Napoleonicis

1–2 players · 90 min

A simple fast play rules set for the Napoleonic era based upon the very popular De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA). In its most basic format, about a dozen units on each side contest across a 2 foot by 2 foot. While bells & whistles are held to a minimum enough Napoleonic chrome exists to give this game a interesting flavor of the time --- Vistula Lancers, British rifles, Spanish guerrillas are differentiated as is the very slow Austrian army. Includes very usable army lists. KISR is following this up with sets for the American Civil War (DBACW) & WWII (Rommel's Battles). Similar to DBA in requiring only low costs in number of figures and space required, and rules that are quickly assimilated.
