Wise Bayonets

This game, designed by Enrico Acerbi, should come next after Braccio da Montone. The subject is the Napoleonic battle of river Trebbia (june 1799). Wise Bayonet uses the same rules system of Masséna at Loano, integrated with rules needed to reflect the different battle terrain and tactical situation. Compared to the previous game is given much more emphasis to the cavalry and much less to the formation of tirailleurs (almost useless in the plain between rivers Tidone, Trebbia and Po) .
