Commands & Colors Tricorne: The American Revolution
Product number:
CPA1039
Manufacturer:
Compass Games
Commands & Colors Tricorne: The American Revolution is based on the highly successful Commands & Colors system, where Command cards drive movement of your forces during game play, while simultaneously creating a fog of war on the battlefield. Battle dice resolve combat quickly and efficiently, keeping the game tempo high.
By design, Tricorne is not overly complex, however many new Commands & Colors system concepts are introduced in this series, which add historical depth and provide even the most veteran player with many new play experiences and challenges.
The scale of the game fluctuates, allowing players to effectively portray some of the larger American Revolution battles, as well as smaller sized skirmish actions. In some scenarios, an infantry unit may represent an entire brigade, while in others a unit may only represent a few companies of soldiers. Still the linear tactics of the period, that you must execute to gain victory, conform remarkably well to the advantage and limitations inherent to the various American Revolution Armies of the day, and the battlefield terrain features on which they fought. To further emphasize the differences in battlefield doctrine between the British and Continental forces, each army has its own unique deck of Combat cards.

If you enjoy the C&C system, you need to get this game!
THE BEST version of the Commands & Colors game system. And hands-down the best looking and most advanced. If you enjoy C&C I stongly recommend this title!

As a C&C veteran expected
Commands and Colors fanboy here, been playing with the system since Days of Wonder released BattleLore (still my favorite iteration of C&C) in the waning days of 2006. I have enjoyed Ancients, Napoleonics, Samurai Battles, and The Great War profoundly, and would never say no to a game of Memoir '44 or Battle Cry, though I find those less enjoyable. Needless to say, I knew what I was getting into with Tricorne, and it has not disappointed. Nothing will take the place of BattleLore for me, but this is already a favorite of mine on par with Napoleonics.
