Guard du Corps

Designed to provide a realistic simulation of Napoleonic warfare at the operational level. Detailed command-and-control rules include operational directives and an optional "tactical chit" system for specifying orders. A scenario generation system provides players with the chance to make pre-game, strategic-level decisions. Optional rules allow for heavy batteries, regimental cohesion, and guard units.
