Marvelous! I’ve discounted this game because I thought it wasn’t solo friendly, but now I’m super interested. Digging into some Napoleonic games is on my todo list and this was a great introduction. Looking forward to the battle. I have window seats in a carriage reserved. :)

Window seats in the carriage - so thematic, I love that picture Zilla! This vid was a last minute quicky as I was getting the game ready. But yeah, RB's own solo suggestion works so well and maintains fog of war throughout! We still play both sides and yet never know what's coming next!

Knew nothing of them, but I've downloaded them now, thanks to you. Love my C&C games. Retired, I have the time to play, but now the games will be so much better. Thanks so much!

Excellent video, thanks. Really like the C&C games, I've only played Ancients so far (and Memoir '44 ,which is basically C&C with figures). I can't seem to find this game in stock anywhere. I tried that Second Chance Games you recommended previously but they only have the Epic expansion pack unfortunately. Was hoping to get this one in time for Father's Day but looks like it might have to wait til Xmas tragically.

I heard of a solo mode that GMT published for many of their games (including this one)called CDG Solo System. Do you have any opinions on it? The pnp version is free.

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I think it looks like a great little package but haven't used it and can't offer a strong opinion. It takes some management and I have watched a video using it. For this game I still prefer the very simple Power of Three for its speed. But many gamers are not satisfied playing both sides and thats fine 😊

@@soloboardgaming I ask because it does say on Boardgame Geek that the Naps version is 1-2 players, but nothing about solo play for the other iterations of the game. The "Rule of Three" appears to be specifically for Naps, but as you say, I can't see from here how it couldn't be used for all the versions. I specifically mentioned mediaevals as I'd probably plump for that one if I don't get the Naps version. Cheers.
