Merde! War Game set in the Napoleonic era: From the Peninsular War to Waterloo

Merde! From the Peninsular War to Waterloo, Merde! completes the Napoleonic epic, allowing you to relive the battles fought by the Grande Armée between 1809 and 1815. Like the first set, the new 3D playing pieces are designed to represent various formations and contain all necessary information regarding combat characteristics, movement, and discipline. Joining the previous armies (France, Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia) are the allies of the French (Kingdom of Italy, Confederation of the Rhine, Grand Duchy of Warsaw) and the British (Spain and the Netherlands). Key Features: The Headquarters Board: this innovative player board allows players to plan army organization, activation sequences, specific orders, and victory points. Thanks to this mechanic, players can move their corps simultaneously. Command & Strategy: armies are divided into formations under the command of leaders tasked with capturing specific sectors of the battlefield. Players must strategically distribute their forces between attack, support, and defensive lines. Tactical Movement: movement and changes of front are managed via octagonal points on maps divided into attack and defense areas. Card-Driven Mechanics: Action Cards determine weather conditions, initial movements, and unit endurance; Battle Cards resolve armed engagements through direct challenges between players; Objective and Fire Cards regulate artillery volleys; BOT Action Cards enable a fully immersive solo play mode. Victory Condition: The winner is the player who manages to break the enemy front by routing opposing units across the various sectors.
