"Master of Command"

"Master of Command" is tactical strategy game set during the Seven Years' War, where players manage armies, engage in real-time battles, and make critical decisions to lead their forces to victory.

Game Setting and Objectives

  • Historical ContextThe game is set during the Seven Years' Warglobal conflict that took place from 1756 to 1763. Players take command of armies from various European powers, including Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia.
  • Main GoalThe primary objective is to lead your army through series of tactical battles and manage resources effectively to achieve victory in the campaign.

Gameplay Mechanics

  1. Real-Time Tactical BattlesEngage in large-scale battles where players must consider factors like morale, stamina, terrainand timing. Troops can break under pressure, and strategic decisions can turn the tide of combat.
  2. Army ManagementPlayers must equip and customize their regiments with historical weapons and gear that affect performance. Managing supplies and keeping troops fed and equipped is crucial for success.
  3. Procedural CampaignsThe game features randomly generated campaigns, ensuring that each playthrough offers unique experience. Players must navigate through fog of war and make decisions that impact their army's survival and effectiveness.
  4. Persistent Unit DevelopmentUnits gain experience and can level up, which adds depth to the gameplay. Players must make choices that affect their army's long-term capabilities and morale.
  5. Resource ManagementResources are scarce, and players must make tough decisions about when to advance, rest, or engage the enemy. Every soldier lost can have significant consequences for the campaign.

The Warre Game - 17th Century

 The Storming of Christmas steps at The Other Partizan. More here (3) The Warre Game - 17th Century | Facebook This looks stunning. Well done to all involved.




From the wiki. In the 17th century, Christmas Steps were sometimes referred to as Lunsford's Stairs.[10] This was in honour of a Cavalier officer Colonel Henry Lunsford, who was shot through the heart on Steep Street on 26 July 1643 while taking part in the Storming of Bristol during the English Civil War.[11]
