❤ Faithful to the Classic Avalon Hill Boardgame

This digital adaptation closely preserves the core gameplay and mechanics of the original 1980 "War & Peace" boardgame published by Avalon Hill. Veteran players will find the familiar look, feel, and strategic challenge of the classic wargame faithfully recreated on the computer.

❤ Intuitive and Streamlined Interface

The game's on-screen guide walks players through each phase of play, helping them quickly grasp the nuanced choices and strategies available. The digital implementation automates much of the bookkeeping and setup, making the overall experience more accessible and efficient compared to the original boardgame.

❤ Scenario-Based and Grand Campaign Gameplay

Players can engage with the game at different levels of depth - from individual historical scenarios covering key Napoleonic battles and campaigns, to a full grand campaign spanning the entire conflict from 1805 to 1815. Scenarios support both solo play against the AI and multiplayer, while the grand campaign is currently multiplayer-only.

❤ Detailed Napoleonic Mechanics

The game's core mechanics authentically simulate the strategic and operational realities of the Napoleonic era. Players must carefully manage their armies' morale, supply, and movement, as well as coordinate different unit types like infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The combat system rewards tactical considerations like terrain, leader quality, and army composition.

❤ Challenging AI Opponents

The AI opponents in the available scenarios have been praised for providing a formidable strategic challenge, even for experienced Napoleonic wargamers. While the AI for the grand campaign mode is still in development, the scenario-based AI offers a compelling single-player experience.

❤ Robust Multiplayer Functionality

In addition to solo play, the game features a solid multiplayer component, allowing players to engage in head-to-head matches or participate in asynchronous Play-by-Email (PBEM) campaigns, fostering a more social and interactive Napoleonic wargaming experience.

❤ Ongoing Post-Launch Support

The developers have demonstrated a strong commitment to updating the game, addressing player feedback, and squashing bugs. They also plan to expand the game's content and functionality over time, such as the addition of AI opponents for the grand campaign mode.
