About the game

What you do in a play session

For fans of the Commands & Colors series and the Napoleonic Wars, get ready to dive into Prussian campaigns! This expansion, focusing on the Prussian Army between 1806 and 1815, brings 18 historical scenarios that place you in the midst of crucial battles against Napoleon's forces. Remember that legendary Prussian defeat at Jena? Or the army's resurgence under Blücher? It's all here, ready for you to rewrite history on your tabletop!

The base game, Commands & Colors: Napoleonics, is already a hit for its engaging gameplay, and this expansion adds more flavor with new units and tactical situations. You'll manage your hand of cards to orchestrate movements and attacks, roll dice to determine the success of your actions, and navigate a hexagon grid representing the battlefield. Prussia, which underwent significant military reform after Jena, becomes a formidable force once again, and you'll have the chance to command it in decisive moments that shaped Europe.

It's an expansion that requires the base game, of course, but for those looking to deepen their Napoleonic experience with an iconic army full of historical twists and turns, this package is a treat. Prepare your generals, sharpen your tactics, and see if you can change the course of history!
