Description

About Bonaparte: Miniature Wargame Napoleonic rules for 25 to 54mm.

Artillery is classified by weight , having light, medium, and heavy designations. Light artillery can either be foot or horse, while all other weights are foot.
Infantry has line (standard), skirmish, and irregular troop types.
Cavalry has heavy, medium, light, lancer, and irregular troop types. Heavy cavalry can be further designated as being Armored or not.
For each of those troop types you can further classify them by morale: green or untrained, trained, veteran, and elite or guard.

Commanders are rated only by type and not by morale.
They are the CIC, Generals (commanders of corps, wings, or divisions), Officers (commanders of brigades or regiments), and Staff Officers (aides and staff of CICs and Generals).

The book gives you rules for all of the major powers, including the Ottomans.
Each nationality has special rules, including formations that their infantry can use.
Russian line fires with one less dice, British with one more, but only at point-blank range; that sort of thing.
There is a point system to cost out the troops in all of their variations.
There is no army lists, per se, and you are expected to research out who had what troop types and so on.

About Bonaparte covers more than just the Napoleonics period.
There are period rules for the Age of Marlborough, the Seven Years War, the French and Indian War, the American War of Independence, the American Civil War, and the colonial wars.
