The primary focus of the game is on soldiers and NCOs in light \"flank\" companies, as they scout ahead of larger forces and take part in man-to-man actions against enemy skirmishers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough the game allows for the formation of accurately sized companies of light infantry and cavalry if you wish, these formations are broken down into small groups of up to a dozen men. For the most part, officers are not swashbuckling super-heroes, but staunch commanders who rally and direct their men to achieve the battlefield objectives. Although the games uses an alternating action turn sequence, officers can use their influence to multiple units at the same time in an effort to steal the initiative. With all rolls resolved using standard 6-sided dice, this game combines a classic wargaming feel with modern wargame mechanics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Games\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472810809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.10w x 0.20d","brand":"Mark Latham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44413617438901,"sku":"9781472810809","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_22213517-3f5f-4020-b19d-10a7b0954a8d.jpg?v=1720537977","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/chosen-men-military-skirmish-games-in-the-napoleonic-wars-9781472810809","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
