Stacking and Command Points edit

I confess it's been several decades since I've played this game, but my recollection is that

a) it had double stacking, and

b) unlike Zucker's later games, command points aren't actually tracked per se (eg in "Struggle of Nations" on the 1813 campaign, each HQ can issue command points to generals - every other general on the map must then roll less than or equal to his initiative number or else can't move). Rather each senior general has a rating (Wellington has 4 as his army is in small divisions, Napoleon has 3, Grouchy and Bluecher have 2 and Ney has 1 - can't remember how the Prince of Orange was rated) and may activate that number of corps AND individual units, ie. Napoleon may control 3 corps and 3 individual units each turn. Activation orders may only be transmitted within galloping range, for obvious reasons.

Good catch, @Paulturtle! I have updated the article with stacking rules for both the basic and the advanced game. Guinness323 (talk) 21:14, 31 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
