Commands & Colors Tricorne: The American Revolution

A card-driven tactical wargame set in the American Revolution where Command cards dictate movement and create a fog of war while battle dice resolve combat. Scenarios vary in scale so a counter can represent anything from a few companies to an entire brigade, allowing both large battles and smaller skirmishes to be simulated on stylized maps that emphasize key terrain and historical deployments. Each side uses its own Combat deck to reflect differing doctrines, and morale plays a central role: units take relatively light casualties but can break and rout when forced to retreat, making cohesion and timing critical to success. Twelve historical scenarios recreate engagements across the war, from early actions through southern campaigns.
