The fifteen new scenarios add multiple tactical situations, including ambushes, broken terrain, and attacking fortifications.

Officers are the key not only to command and control but often also to victory in melee; but if they fall in battle, they can no longer issue orders, and so the cycle of players' decisions continues.

THE MILITARY ORGANIZATION OF MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA IN THE PHANARIOT ERA, 1709-1821
Drawing on a careful re-examination of archival material, administrative records, and contemporary accounts, demonstrates how the armies of Moldavia and Wallachia were reshaped – reduced in size during peacetime, often for fiscal reasons, they continued to function as instruments of border defense, internal order, and tax enforcement. Set against the complex political backdrop of Ottoman suzerainty, Russian expansion, and Habsburg pressure, explores how military institutions adapted to a changing geopolitical environment. Traces the evolution of command structures, recruitment systems, fiscal mechanisms, and the social composition of the armed forces across more than a century of Phanariot governance. Contains 43 black-and-white illustrations, 8 color plates, and 37 black-and-white tables. $45.00 USD

Seeks to fundamentally reshape perceptions of the famed Confederate general to present a more accurate historical portrait of the man and his military career.
