THIS IS AN EXPANSION. You need "Horse & Musket: Dawn of an Era" to play this game.
The long-awaited fourth volume in Sean Chick's Horse & Musket series shifts the scene to a period of social upheaval, peopled by radical revolutionaries, dominated by two world-changing events – the American War for Independence, and the overthrow of the Bourbon monarchy, resulting in the War of the First Coalition.
Washington's desperate struggles for survival. The cursed command of the Army of the North. The stunning early victories of a brilliant young Corsican named Bonaparte. Over the course of twenty-one dramatic scenarios, refight the battles that changed the course of history.
Also changing is the look and feel of the Horse & Musket series. Concurrent with this release, the entire series has been updated to make it easier to learn, set-up, and play. A revised core rulebook is provided with this volume.
