Manoeuvre is a fast-playing game of battlefield command, set in the early 19th century. Multiple geomorphic game maps provide the chessboard-sized battlefields over which eight different armies of the period move and fight in one-on-one battles. As the commanding General of a nation's army, you have at your command units and a 60-card national deck which represents your army's specific troops and unique strengths. Your job is to utilize those assets and manoeuvre your forces to achieve battlefield supremacy.

How Different Armies Match Up (Sample-From the Designer)

Russians : The Russian units have excellent staying power, most reduced sides are only slightly weaker than their full-strength sides. This means that Russian units are harder to kill....

British : The British are every bit the equal of the French. The British defensive values are slightly higher than the French, and they lack just a little of the firepower of the French. The British are an excellent side for novice players....

Americans : Ambushes, five solid leaders, volley fire, and many units have an opportunity to withdraw from undesired combat...
