The Tactical system allows for players to recreate any battle of the Napoleonic period as well as make new ones. The battle day is divided into Day Segments which are subdivided into a variable number of turns depending on leadership, troops quality and battlefield conditions.
The scale is 1:60 and allows players to use any existing basing system. Orders are issued and then interpreted by the different Divisional and Corps leaders. Once the battle is underway, there is initiative, movement, and skirmish combat phases. A subtle, yet effective Command and Control system is used to influence the battle and melees are resolved within the same turn.
Army and divisional integrity tests and Charge declarations round out the various phases in the Turn and make up the fundamental heart of the rules.
For those players wishing to play a quick game or a point based game, the system provides a complete Point System as well as a scenario generator called the Battle Matrix.
