Commands & Colors Tricorne: Jacobite Rising

As with other Commands & Colors games, the scale of the game fluctuates, which allows players to effectively portray some of the larger historical Jacobite Rising battles, like Culloden and Falkirk, as well as smaller size skirmish actions. The 13 battle scenarios in the game present a stylized battlefield map that emphasize the important terrain features and highlights the historical deployment of forces in scale with the game system. Still the tactics of the period, that players will need to execute to gain victory, conform remarkably well to the advantages and limitations inherent to the various armies of the day and the battlefield terrain features on which they fought.

Here is the list of 13 battles and smaller skirmish actions included with Jacobite Rising:

• Killikeankie – 27 July 1689
• Dunkeld – 21 August 1689
• Cromdale – 1 May 1690
