Directly descended from the highly acclaimed Dragoon and winner of the prestigious Charles S. Roberts award for Best Pre-20th Century Era Computer Wargame, Horse and Musket is the wargamer's dream game of 18th century warfare. Covering the entire spectrum of conflict during the era players will be immersed in the battlefields of yesterday from North America to Europe. From desperate cavalry charges to miracle rallies, all the emotions of combat are captured on your monitor. The heart of Horse and Musket is the unique command and control system that realistically simulates the chaos of battle. Not quite a straight up IGOUGO approach, during a turn leaders are checked for activation. Those activated can then take their turn while everyone waits for their activation to arrive. Because there are a variety of factors involved in activation turns are quite unpredictable. The order of leaders will change turn to turn and players will have to go with the flow. As they say, the best laid plan rarely survives contact with the enemy.
