Victory and Glory: Napoleon

La prise en main a été un peu difficile car, je ne connais pas suffisamment l'anglais. Une fois ce cap passé, il faut juste comprendre le système de combat qui est simple et pratique Que ce soit au niveau stratégique ou tactique (au moment de la bataille) il faut faire les bons choix. Le jeux avec les cartes d’événements en sus est super génial et amène des surprise. C'est un bon petit jeux pour les amateur de cette époque. Bon amusement

Combat is too random and makes no sense. You can hit a level one unit with two attacks from level three canons and it's fine then the enemy hits one of your level two units with one shot from a level one canon and kills it.

A very fun game, with simple rules so that you think about what to do more than how to do it. In some other reviews, players complain that the AI is too simple and predictable. It is indeed rather predictable, but understandably so, for two reasons. 1- The IA knows how to win large, detailed battles and plays accordingly. It creates a strong wing, generally the center, and holding flanks, and it tries to punch a hole in your lines with its strong wing. If, as is the case most of the time if your army is led by Napoleon, you set up your units last, you can react accordingly. 2- You're playing Napoleon, the Master Himself, and the clumsy tricks of your opponents are predicatble - as they were at the beginning of Napoleon's carrier. However, when your IA opponent starts fielding huge armies and can have 3 strong wings, you're in trouble. Add that the IA units get a massive upgrade from the middle of the game on, the IA leaders too, and you know you must become the master of Europe double quick and teach the other countries another lesson, whenever they might join the evil British so that you avoid coalitions. Now, a few drawbacks (or requests for the developpers, hint hint...) 1- You can only play France. Of course, nobody in his right mind yould want to play the nasty British instead of the nice, peace loving French, so peace loving that they try and cram peace in other nations' throats from the tip if bayonets. For the own good of those benighted, ignorant people. But suppose I would want to play with the British, just to mismanage their deceitful ways as badly as I can imagine, I can't. 2- I wish Leaders would be able to move more than just one zone. A leader alone with a few officers moves quite faster than a whole troop. 3- The IA has a few attrition cards wich are brutal, whereas the French have none. Maybe reduce the casualties somewhat AND target "allies" first. In Russia, green German "volunteers" were more likely to desert than battle hardened, elite French Guards. Do not be decieved by the little playing time diplayed for me in Steam, I have played hundreds of hours off line. A thoroughly enjoyable game which I recommend, a game for which I really hope to see an improved version 2 one day.

Excellent game system. The only thing I would like to change would be to allow players to play as England as well as France. Still, top notch game!

I like the exp progression system for your units. Combat is simple but still requires thought

Great game in a very unique board game style. Not that hard to understand, but very addicting.
