MANOEUVRE
Manoeuvre is an abstract simulation of warfare during the Age of Napoleon. This simulation is “abstract” because while based on the tactic of the era, it is not based on any actual battle or historical event. Manoeuvre is a two-player game, where each player controls an army made up of Infantry and Cavalry units. Each unit has a certain amount of inherent Artillery firepower for bombardment actions, as there are no separate Artillery units. Control of the units is by the use of a deck of cards; these cards consist of 40 “Unit” cards and 20 “Headquarters” cards. There are five cards for each of the eight units you command.
Let us begin at the beginning. The map for the game consists of 24 4 x 4 square sections, the starting player picks four of these section and arranges them as he sees fit. These sections contain open squares, hills, towns, woods, etc. When arranged the game surface is 8 squares by 8 squares, or 64 squares. Shuffle the complete Action Deck. Unit and headquarters cards, and select five cards. Once you have selected your cards, you now place your units on the board.  Your army consists of eight units represented ... Read More
