If you love wargames but don't want to spend three hours reading a thousand-page manual, Commands & Colors Tricorne is your new obsession. It utilizes the proven system of the Commands & Colors line, where command cards dictate the pace of movement and dice resolve combat in a highly dynamic way. But don't be fooled: this title brings a historical depth that will make even series veterans smile. The standout feature here is the variable scale; you can command everything from small skirmishes to massive battles, where an infantry unit might represent an entire brigade.

The American Revolutionary War theme is handled with great respect. Each army (British vs. Continentals) has its own unique combat card deck, reflecting their distinct military doctrines. Furthermore, the focus isn't just on decimating the enemy army, but on maintaining troop morale. You know that tense moment when a unit, despite minimal losses, decides it's had enough and routs from the battlefield? That's right, morale is the heart of the experience. The game offers 12 iconic historical scenarios, such as Bunker Hill and Monmouth, with maps that strategically highlight the terrain. It is a tactical strategy game that perfectly balances simple rules with complex battlefield decisions, ideal for those who want to feel the weight of history without the excessive bureaucracy of other war simulators.
