Commands & Colors: Napoleonics Expansion #4 The Prussian Army

The Prussian Army expansion is for Commands & Colors Napoleonics (you need a copy to play). In the Seven Years’ War, small Prussia under Frederick the Great defeated big powers like Austria, Russia, and France, doubling its territory and becoming a European powerhouse. But Prussia stepped back from the First Coalition against the French Revolution and stayed out until 1806. In 1806, the Prussian Infantry still used an old - style system, and the cavalry was uncoordinated at Jena, leading to defeat. Napoleon mocked their fancy maneuvers. After the 1806 defeat, King Frederick William III reformed the army. Thanks to military geniuses like Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and Field - Marshal Prince Blücher, the new Prussian army became one of Europe's best. In 1813, Prussia rejoined the fight against Napoleonic France. In 1815, it helped bring Napoleon's downfall at Waterloo. After the wars, Prussia regained lost lands and became dominant in Germany. This expansion has 18 historical scenarios of Prussian battles from 1806 - 1815 against Napoleon and all the new units for these battles.

To use this expansion, first make sure you have a copy of Commands & Colors Napoleonics. Then, simply add the new units from this expansion to your game setup. When choosing a scenario, pick one from the 18 historical battles between 1806 and 1815 featuring the Prussian Army. Each scenario will have its own unique starting conditions.
