Field of Glory – Version 3.2a

In Field of Glory you will take command of an army which consists of approximately 10-15 battle groups led by the C-in-C and his senior commanders. The game has been designed to ensure that, just as in reality, the commanders (you) are fully occupied with decision making from the outset. Your key objective is to outmanoeuvre the enemy army and concentrate your forces at critical points in the battle. This will then destroy the enemy’s will to fight, deal a devastating blow to the morale of their commanders (your opponent) and allow you to win.

Also, in reality, some armies would be relatively small, consisting of as few as 5,000 men, whilst others would be enormous. Field of Glory will allow you to see what might have been had these forces been equally matched, using a points system, as each army can then be scaled up or down whilst retaining an individual mix and balance of troops to create “what if” encounters.

• Core Mechanics: The game relies on an I-GO-U-GO (active player/non-active player) turn structure with highly integrated phases including maneuvering, impact charges, shooting, and melee.
• Unit Cohesion: Units are organized into battlegroups. Rather than just taking hit points, units track “cohesion” and combat effectiveness, which degrade as they take casualties, undergo flanking, or falter under missile fire.
• Army Lists: Companion army list books provide point systems and historical data so players can build accurate armies—ranging from Romans and Carthaginians to medieval knights and Eastern empires.
