C'est la Guerre - Fast Play Wargame for the Age of Muskets - 2nd Ed

As the technology of war advanced the musket became the great equalizer. If your troops would fire, the enemy would incur casualties, regardless of whether your troops were the better trained or the more experienced. The effect of a thousand poorly trained, ill commanded troops firing into a block of men should not be ignored. Therefore a simple system was developed to account for a unit suffering losses.

In ancient battles the general is more important in combat, but in modern battles the chain of command is more important. C’est la Guerre uses a simple command structure to manage battlefield movement.

In addition there is troop grading so that better trained more effective troops can have an advantage, and poorly trained less effective troops are at a disadvantage.

C’est la Guerre accounts for casualties and losses without going into an overly complicated accounting system, and provides for a command structure without dealing with morale or having the players issue orders.
