Napoleonics: Quatre Bras

How did so many other people rate this garbage so highly? Are ya'll like related to the designer? 1993 state of the art graphics and interface. Pound on a unit 27 times in a row and it MIGHT let you select it. Play French and watch 2x uberpowerful allied units swarm the field as your sluggish gaullics crawl across the feild. Play Brits and somehow you have <50% measly Dutch units that get rolled over by a tide of superfast French. I literally counted the turns as a French player need to reach a key objective. FIVE minimum. Somehow when you play allied, the Emperor's boyz are there in only THREE! Magic? Painfully obvious nerfing and buffing do not a fun game make.

This is a great game that is easy to learn, plays differently every time, and has just the right balance between strategy and a little variability in the artillery accuracy to make every battle unique. A big yes please to the designers for more battles in this genre, also with more complexity a la Napoleon's Triumph of Simmons Games the board game classic.

Very difficult to select the units on the galaxy tab s

Whilst not as polished as its sequel, Quatre Bras is not to be overlooked. The core mechanics and gameplay are wonderful. They will be readily familiar to fans of Napoleon's Triumph, but are quite easy to grasp for those who aren't. Add in the varibles -- the early start, summoning the guard cavalry and D'Erlon's -- and you've got a game that never gets old. Don't be afraid to throw down the money on this one. You won't be disappointed!

Simple to lear hard to master real mind bender love it

Great fun

Love this wee game.

I buy DK Simulations games sight unseen, and I was delighted to discover that this game uses a system similar to the system used in board games like Napoleon's Triumph. The AI is not particularly challenging, but that is a minor quibble. My biggest issue is that the AI does not make decisions about whether to bring in reinforcements, so playing as the Allies, you have to decide whether to commit French reinforcements. If the AI could do this, it would make both sides viable, and the game would be a 5.

of everything. This is a great start! Needs to be expanded into a larger Waterloo campaign. Also, better icon set would brighten up the visual experience.

Good first start at Napoleonic game. Played on galaxy 10.1.
