Campaign

Get ready to relive the grand battles of the Napoleonic Era with Campaign, a strategy game that puts you in command of armies on an abstract map of Europe. Here, you can be Napoleon or Wellington himself, devising tactics to conquer cities and defeat your opponents. The board, divided into six major regions like France, Prussia, and Russia, is a battlefield where armies composed of generals, infantry, and cavalry move in peculiar ways. Each unit has its own movement style: generals move in any direction, cavalry in an L-shape, and infantry diagonally. Movement is driven by dice rolls, but combat is straightforward: if you can attack, you capture. Luck might lend a hand with the dice, but strategy reigns supreme.

Forming alliances is crucial, but beware, they can be broken! Exchange alliance cards to seal agreements, but remember an ally cannot invade your territory without permission. Breaking an alliance gives you one last chance to reposition before an attack. To win, you must be ruthless: conquer all enemy capitals, control eight strategic cities (excluding your own!), or leave the opposing general with no troops. Lost pieces return to your muster area, requiring a constant flow of reinforcements. In more complex battles, adjacent pieces can support each other, adding an extra tactical layer. Campaign is a game for those who enjoy thinking and planning every move, with a historical touch and plenty of territorial disputes.
