Armchair General (90%): a highly playable and highly addictive game

[Korrigan]

"NCP focuses upon the ‘grand operational’ level of war, with players organizing and controlling units from regimental to army size across a two-dimensional map. Anyone even slightly familiar with traditional board wargaming will feel at home with the appearance and logical play of the game."

"Organization in NCP, much like AGEOD’s earlier American Civil War, is the key to success. The right commander is necessary to gain the most from the units, especially in NCP. AGEOD has focused on the complexity of warfare in the Napoleonic era, such as the issue of multi-national forces being commanded by men who did (or did not) have the talents for such."

"The result is a game much more focused on grand campaigns, ala the 18th century, rather than with the issues that shaped the Napoleonic era and the rest of the 19th century—the levee en masse was just as important, if not more so, than the ‘French’ method of winning battles, such as the maneoever sur les derrieres."

Bonne analyse synthétique il me semble.
Le seul truc qui fasse désordre (mais il faudrait le signaler à l'auteur) ce sont ces manoeuvres sur les derrières...

Il voulait peut etre parler des assauts sur les cantinières et autres lavandières qui suivaient toujours la troupe en campagne...

manoeuvre de flanc ou double enveloppement ?

I'll drop a mail to the reviewer to both congratulate him for using some French military vocabulary and warn him about his small mistake.

I feel this review to be very concise and fair.

En fait, manoeuvrer sur les derrières, c'était l'expression de l'époque. Elle a changé depuis.
