Definizione di boardwargame

Un boardwargame (gioco di guerra da tavolo) è una combinazione di gioco, storia e scienza; esso è una macchina del tempo di carta. Chi non conosce la simulazione storica può pensare al gioco degli scacchi come una mappa più complicata e una maniera più complessa di muovere i pezzi e risolvere i combattimenti. (“La simulazione storica” di Gian Carlo Ceccoli).

Storia del boardwargame

Il boardwargame ha una lunga storia; tutto iniziò probabilmente nel 3000

avanti Cristo, in Cina, con un uomo chiamato Sun Tzu, un generale, che creò pure il primo wargame conosciuto. Il

Wei Hai.

I componenti del boardwargame – la mappa

- Il piano di gioco consiste in una mappa che riporta l’area dove si è svolta la battaglia.- Si ricorre a ricerche storiche su atlanti e resoconti.- La natura del terreno viene rappresentata come sulle mappe geografiche e stradali.

Waterloo 18 giugno 1815 – l’evento e il gioco

La battaglia di Waterloo (cittadina del Belgio) si svolse il 18 giugno 1815 durante la guerra della Settima Coalizione fra le truppe francesi guidate da Napoleone Bonaparte e gli eserciti britannico del Duca di Wellington e prussiano del feldmaresciallo Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher.Fu una delle più combattute e sanguinose battaglie delle guerre napoleoniche, nonché l'ultima battaglia di Napoleone, e segnò la sua definitiva sconfitta con il conseguente esilio a Sant'Elena.La battaglia in realtà ebbe luogo nel territorio del villaggio di Mont-Saint-Jean, situato alcuni chilometri a sud della cittadina di Waterloo, nella quale si trovava il quartier generale del Duca di Wellington.

Waterloo – 18 Giugno 1815 (11am to 3pm)

All’alba del 18 giugno il tempo era sereno, ma il terreno ancora zuppo di pioggia rendeva le manovre della cavalleria e artiglieria difficoltose, così Napoleone ritardò l’inizio della battaglia, aspettando che il terreno si asciugasse.

Wellington disponeva di:- 50.000 soldati- 11.000 cavalieri- 150 cannoniPosizioni: il castello di Hougomont, il villaggio di Papelotte e la fattoria di La Haye Sainte.

Napoleone disponeva di: - 48.000 fanti- 14.000 cavalieri- 250 cannoni. Video

Commands and Colors Napoleonics Game Board

The battlefield game board has three sections by two dotted lines : where the dotted line cuts through a hex, the hex is considered to be part of both sections.

Page 17: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors Napoleonics Units and Leaders

Each unit is composed of several blocks. A leader is represented by one block. Two units may never occupy the same hex. Two leaders may not occupy the same hex. A leader in the same hex as a friendly unit is considered “attached” to the unit and must move along with the unit unless the leader is ordered to detach. The three main types of units are : infantry, cavalry and artillery.

Page 21: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors Napoleonics Sequence of play (play a card, move, combat and draw)

1. COMMAND phase: Play a Command card.2. ORDER phase: Announce all units and leaders you

intendto order, within the limits of the Command card just played.

3. MOVEMENT phase: Move all ordered units and leaders, one at a time (it only costs one command to order a unit and its attached leader to move and/or battle together). A unit or leader may only be ordered to move once per turn. A unit or leader that is ordered does not have to move.

4. COMBAT phase: Battle one ordered unit at a time and each unit’s combat must be fought to completion including any additional combat actions before another combat. A unit that is ordered does not have to battle. You may switch between ranged combat and melee combat from one unit to the next.

5. DRAW phase: Draw a new Command card.

In short: play a card, move, combat and draw!

Page 22: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsRanged Combat

Only infantry and artillery units may engage in ranged combat. The target unit must be within both range and line of sight. A unit adjacent to an enemy unit may not fire on another, more distant, enemy unit. The line of sight is blocked only if a hex between the battling unit and the target contains an obstruction.

Page 23: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsRanged Combat (2)

The artillery can fire up to 5 hexes

How many dice do I have to roll?

The number is equal to the number of blocks

Are you moving? You roll ½ the number of blocks

You can round up or down. It depends on the unit

Page 26: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors Napoleonics Melee Combat

When your units are adjacent enemy units, you are engaging them . That situation is called melee. In melee combat, the attacker scores 1 hit for each troop symbol rolled that matches the target unit and 1 hit for each sabers.

Page 27: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors Napoleonics Melee Combat (2)

For each hit scored, 1 block is removed from the target unit. When the last block in the opponent’s unit is removed, you collect a Victory Banner block.

A flag does not cause a hit, but may cause the unit to retreat. For each retreat flag rolled against a unit, the unit must move one hex back toward its own side of the battlefield.

Page 28: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsLeaders casualty check

When a leader is attached to a unit and

the unit loses at least one or blocks, or is

eliminated, there is a chance that the leader may also be hit. Make a leader casualty check by

rolling 2 battle dice. If the leader is not hit, the

leader must retreat 1, 2, or 3 hexes.

Page 29: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsMorale

A unit may disregard one flag when a leader is attached to the unit or when supported by two or more friendly units on any hexes that are adjacent to the unit.

Page 30: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsBattle Back

In a melee combat, the defending enemy unit

may Battle Back against the attacking unit if one

or more of the defending unit’s blocks survived

the melee combat attack and the defending unit did not retreat from its

hex.

Page 31: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsAdvancing

A victorious attacking infantry unit may advance onto the

vacated hex when the defending enemy

unit/leader is eliminated or retreat. A square or

an Artillery unit may not take ground.

Page 32: Boardwargameschool v3

A victorious attacking cavalry unit may advance onto the vacated hex, and after advancing onto the

vacated hex, the cavalry unit may then move one additional hex.

Commands and Colors NapoleonicsInfantry forming square

An infantry unit at any strength may choose to form square during the

opponent’s turn before a cavalry unit is about to

melee attack the infantry unit. If the infantry unit

does not choose to form square, the cavalry melee

attack is resolved normally.

Page 34: Boardwargameschool v3

Commands and Colors Napoleonics Infantry forming square (2)

When the infantry unit chooses to form square, the attacking cavalry player selects one card at random from the defending infantry player’s hand of Command cards. The card is placed face down on the defending player’s Infantry in Square TrackWhen a cavalry unit has caused an infantry unit to form square, the infantry unit in square will battle first with 1 die,

Gaugamela – il trionfo di Alessandro

La battaglia di Gaugamela (conosciuta anche come battaglia di Arbela) fu combattuta da Alessandro Magnoo il 1º ottobre 331 a.C. contro l'Impero Persiano di Dario IIISecondo Arriano Macedonii e Tessali, comandati da Alessandro: 7.250 cavalieri e 40.000 fanti.Persiani, comandati da Dario: circa 35.000 cavalieri (la maggior parte con armatura pesante), 200.000 fanti (inclusi 10.000 mercenari greci), 200 carri da guerra (carri falcati Sciti) e 15 elefanti da guerra indiani.Il numero esatto dei Persiani è sconosciuto ma è ragionevolmente certo che fossero molto superiori alle forze di Alessandro. Dario scelse un'ampia pianura molto regolare (secondo alcuni resoconti provvide lui stesso a farla levigare) dove avrebbe potuto dispiegare la sua cavalleria, più numerosa di quella del nemico, e i suoi carri da guerra.Dopo la battaglia Dario fuggì ad Arbela

During your turn, follow the sequence shown below:

1. Play a Command card2. Order units and leaders
