One turn represents 1h30 (duration 9 turns) The turn is divided in 4 phases : 1) Initiative phase 2) Player 1 moves 0 to 2 divisions then player 2 (repeated 3 times) 3) Continuation phase (possible new movement phases depending on dice roll up to 5 times in the whole turn) 4) Administration phase (rout and rally) The player with the most victory points (from inflicted casualties to the enemy and controlled locations) wins the game. One counter represents a brigade. There are 98 unmounted counters (51 units + 47 markers), 84 counters are double-sided. The small map (29 x 21 cm) represents the country area around Middletown and is divided in zones. Available with French rules, but English rules can be downloaded from Vae Victis website.
