Victory and Glory: Napoleon reviews

Halfway between a great wargame strategy and a board game with fairly simple rules (all in anglias) an IA not so easy as that and maps of events that are based on historical reality (the French have many maps to improve the qualities of their armies, the English diplomatic cards to try to train the great Nations against France, etc.) the principle of the game is a duel between France and England with a system of calculating victory points. Las batsizes in itself are solved by the same way by simple rules and a tactical side that does not lack interest. In the end the challenge is interesting... do not hope to conquer easily all Europe, let alone deprive the treacherous Albion of its maritime supremacy. The most:-simple rules-3 difficulty levels-5 or 6 different campaigns that occupy quite a lot of time... The less:-no multiplayer while we would dream-we can only play France, there too we would like to play English.

This is a one-shift game until you finish it. The only cons You have is that you can not play with the Allied side or therefore, has pbem. Besides that, everything else is positive. Highlights:-Use of board, chips and cards: what always gives depth and replayability (despite being able to play with only one side). -Tactical Depth in battles: You can not move the chips to your free will, you have to think very well every move because as a Frenchman you can not afford many casualties. -Think carefully when using each of the cards you are giving (not all will appear or in the same order). -You Learn a lot of history from the Napoleonic era. -The movement of each army can only be done if you have a leader and a part if you have enough points of action for it. Therefore, since you will not always be able to move all armies you must think well what to move and what not. -Bloody winter...-Bloody Letters If you occupy Spain or Russia... You have to be very careful with that. Will You Have the right cards for, if you win the battles, quickly occupy the capital without suffering losses? Or will general winter be present in the Russian case? Now He's on a low, at a price of €18.75. I Didn't Even think about buying it!

An excellent game of a Risk-style gambler with cards depicting historical facts of the Napoleonic Wars. The basic principle of this title is to control the French forces of Napoleon to defeat the armies of the various European powers of the time, capture their capitals and sign peace with them. All this in order to gain more points of victory than the rival (in this case, the IA that controls Britain) by using letters of historical events, win battles on land and sea, and conquer territories. The gameplay is easy to learn, but it is difficult to dominate because the IA defies in every turn that passes, whether it is convincing other nations to join their Coalition through a system of points of diplomacy, play their own cards and their Royal Navy , which is more powerful than the French. This is Why you have to think twice about making the moves, either on the strategic map to organize the armies and tactical battles. The Strong point of this game are his cards, because it gives him a lot of replayability, in addition to his six scenarios with different beginnings each one. Also His artistic aparatdo is more than remarkable, both in the cards and on the board. Recommended for all those lovers of historical strategy games, and buy it on sales.
