I have had this on order in the UK for months now. Is it still in production? Zatu Games seem to have big problems getting hold of a copy.
Thanks |

Try BoardGameGeek, C&C Napoleonics. I'm seeing 37 Feebay and 15 Geek Market listings. |

It's available from Static Games, Glasgow. I saw it there this afternoon! |

Looks like it is in print from gmtgames.com, the publisher. It's the 5th printing out this year. |

I just got one. Either thru Amazon or Ebay. Can't remember.
Got it for my son for Christmas. |

I believe Second Chance Games is the UK distributor for GMT games. |

I also ordered it from Zatu months ago, but no sign of it yet. I'm quite annoyed they didn't flag it up as out of stock at the time. |

I note the rules and scenarios are free to download. I was thinking of trying it out as a miniatures game. However I do wonder about the use of cards as a command control realistic mechanism? Having played Memoir 44 and Command Colors ancients I've found you have to plan around what cards your drawn. Didn't someone say war was closer to a game of cards than a game of chess? |

Like the rest of the series the cards are meant to limit the player's ability to do everything he wants, thus representing the fog of war / friction in Command and Control. Best with miniatures as it is always nice to see Napoleonic eye candy on a table. |
