GMT Games Commands And Colors: Napoleonics Expansion 2: The Russian Army

The Russian army at the time of Napoleonic wars still had many characteristics of Peter the Great’s regime. Senior officers were largely recruited from aristocratic circles, and the Russian soldier was regularly beaten and punished to instill discipline. Furthermore, many lower-level officers were poorly trained. Yet the Russians involved in hostilities with its neighbors – Sweden, Poland, Turkey and Austria – were capable of astonishing feats and total, blind obedience to orders. The Russian army excelled on the defensive, and when defending behind earthworks with their plentiful artillery, would extract horrific casualties from any army attacking frontally.

In this expansion you will find 20 historical scenarios that focus on battles fought by the Russian army from 1807 to 1814, plus all the new units you’ll need to field for these engagements.
