To the rolling thunder of cannons and the cries of soldiers, publisher GaGa Games has launched pre-orders for Richard Borg's tabletop block wargame "Commands & Colors: Napoleonics".
Right now, the game can be purchased for 5,990 rubles, the "Russian Army" expansion for 4,990 rubles, and the bundle with the base game and expansion for 9,990 rubles.
Participants will have to travel to the 19th century, where the fate of empires is being decided. Players can expect a deep tactical duel that simulates large-scale battles: from grand engagements to local clashes.
Across 15 historical scenarios, participants will be able to lead French or Anglo-Portuguese forces, recreating famous clashes of the Napoleonic Wars. Players will need to play cards, issue orders to units, roll dice, use tactical maneuvers, and take terrain effects into account.
If the publisher sells 200 boxes, it will release a web booklet for simplified line-of-sight measurement. At 300 boxes, the base game rules will gain the solo assistant "The Power of Three" (making it possible to play "Napoleonics" in solo mode).
At 400 boxes, there will be a detailed unit reference sheet. These are two double-sided pages that the publisher will include in every base game box. They will indicate the number of dice rolled depending on unit type, number of blocks, condition, type of combat, and distance to the target.
At 500 boxes, there will be a historical reference by Daniyar Yambulatov and historian Mikhail Alexandrov. This will be a printed exclusive for pre-order participants. For all other players, the team will publish an online version on the GaGa Games website. At 600 boxes, there will be six fan-made scenarios for the base game. A printed pre-order exclusive, later available online on the website.
At 700 boxes, there will be six fan-made scenarios for the "Russian Army" expansion. A printed pre-order exclusive, later available online on the website. At 800 boxes, there will be terrain reference cards. Thanks to them, all the necessary information will be immediately in front of players. A pre-order exclusive.
At 900 boxes, there will be unit reference cards for the base game and the expansion. With them, there will be no need to flip the reference sheet every time, making the game more comfortable to play. Also a pre-order exclusive.
The Russian edition of "Commands & Colors: Napoleonics" is being printed at the same factory as the global print run. The tabletop game is expected to reach the warehouse in October 2026.
