Will you occupy territory or make surgical strikes aided by your fleet? (Be warned, the family that runs the Ministry of Marine is at odds with the family that runs the Ministry\u003cbr\u003eof War.) The French Army is state-of-the-art. You have more artillery, the latest equipment (bayonets instead of pikes), and access to an administrative machine capable of supporting nearly 500,000 men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut you command a secondary front. Versailles will forever be taking regiments away from you, forcing you to rely on local militia and even Catalan renegades. If you garrison every post, you will be too weak to go on the offensive. If you give up captured fortresses to concentrate, the local population will believe you are weak and rise against you. If you do nothing, you will lose the respect of the Sun King and the Court ladies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the Spanish, can you keep the French at bay? Or can you damage them enough to try a counter-invasion of Roussillon? Will the English send their fleet and land troops to aid you? Or, will the Holy Roman Emperor divert his attention from the Turks long enough to spare you some Imperial regiments?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spanish Army, led by a succession of viceroys who often found themselves more in conflict with the local Catalan government than with the French, is a motley collection of regular regiments (the \"tercios\"), decent cavalry, poorly motivated and equipped militia, and mercenaries. Spain’s best assets are her guerrillas, the \"migueletes,\" assisted by vigilante bands known as \"somatén,\" and the mountainous Catalan terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLAYERS: 1-2\u003cbr\u003eSCENARIOS: 9 Minor \u0026amp; 1 Major Campaign\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTIME TO PLAY:\u003cbr\u003e-3 hours for Minor Scenario\u003cbr\u003e-2 Days for Campaign Scenario\u003cbr\u003eAGE: 14+\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 maps\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600 game pieces\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 rulebooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA historical commentary book\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 set of display cards\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© Red Sash Games.\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Blue Panther LLC under license.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Sash Games","offers":[{"title":"Component Kit","offer_id":47366222872746,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/0313\/5146\/products\/Roussillon_8.5x11_02-01.jpg?v=1660527286","url":"https:\/\/www.bluepantherllc.mom\/products\/redsashrhine","provider":"Blue Panther","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
