A set of simple, fast-playing rules for wargaming the conflicts
that re-shaped Europe in the period 1815-78\. This important, yet
often-neglected period includes the Crimean War, the Italian
Risorgimento, the wars of Bismarck's Prussia against Denmark,
Austro-Hungary and France and the Russo-Turkish war. Tactically it
saw armies struggle to adapt Napoleonic doctrines to incorporate
important technological advances such as breech-loading rifles,
steel breech-loading cannon and the first machine guns. The book
includes brief analysis of the essential strategic and tactical
military developments of the period, a set of elegantly simple
rules which are fast-playing and easy to learn, yet deliver
realistic outcomes. A selection of generic scenarios, covering
diverse situations such as flank attacks, pitched battles and
meeting engagements, is supported by army lists for 28 different
armies. There are also 12 historical scenarios, ranging from the
Battle of the Alma in the Crimean War to Sedan in 1870, the
decisive battle of the Franco-Prussian War, each with historical
background, deployment map, orders of battle and any special rules
for that engagement. Useful appendices include a guide to further
reading, an overview and price guide to the many scales and ranges
of figures available, and a selection of useful addresses for the
gamer.
