Units are generic strength points which represent about 5000 men. Infantry need leaders to move, cavalry can move independently. Leaders are rated from 0 to 3, with Napoleon, Wellington 3's. There is also a naval leader, Nelson.
Basic system is political phase, followed by movement and combat.
Combat takes place within the hex, and can be reinforced by adjacent stacks by either player, allowing the escalating Napoleonic battle to take place. Each type of unit has a typical morale, the French being the best, Russian cossacks the worst. Losses are taken by morale loss which also translates into sp losses. Once a force's morale is reduced to 0, it breaks. Supply is critical.
