Napoleonic Warfare

Napoleonic Warfare is a Strategy game developed and published by Scarce Gaming on September 14th, 2003 for the Gameboy Advance. It focuses on the Napoleonic Wars, and includes three modes: Campaign, Warfare, and Linked Warfare.
They game plays similar to Warrior's Way, which would release almost 10 years later on the 3DS. Multiple exclusions are the campaign mode, which takes place in Africa/Eurasia, and has you opposing and defending against the other nations. In Warfare, you play a 3-round battle against a country of your choice, and in an area of your choice. In Linked Warfare, you play against another player in a 3-round battle in an area of your choice.
The game received positive reviews due to it's historical accuracy and large size.
== Concepts ==
=== Deserters, Pacifists, and Turncoats ===
In battles, troops will sometimes desert the army, not fight at all, or turn traitor and do considerable damage if given the chance. However, England's special ability forces troops to fight.
=== Health & Attack ===
As troops get more and more damage dealt to them, their attack and defence will decrease, much like real life. However, Austria's special ability makes troops always fight without these hindrances.
=== Cities ===
Cities are a big part of the game; the more cities you conquer, the less troops the enemy has to fight, the more troops you have to fight, and, most importantly, the closer you are to victory. Some nations also have bonuses that make them have more cities.
=== Battles ===
In the game, there are two types of battles; land battles, and ocean battles. Land battles matter the most and can have up to 99,999 troops on each side, while ocean battles, on the other hand, take place in the sea, on boats, and can have up to 999 troops on each side. Ships can get sunk during battle, causing large amounts of casualties, and must be rebuilt later.
