¿What is Capitan?

CAPITAN is a new concept of Napoleonic simulation game, which can be played by both the neophyte and the Napoleonic “grognards”

If you do not have figures we can endeavour you to build your own small units, if you already have them congratulations (28mm, 25mm or 15mm. no problem with the scale or the basing system), you have infinite game possibilities with CAPITAN

Environment

CAPITAN is set in the Napoleonic time, where there are lots of examples of big battles with thousands of men, but also numerous small actions where the use of the musket, speed of fencing, skills with horses, courage and personal charisma of command were crucial. The drawings in this website are original watercolours from the great artist Jose Maria Bueno, owned by CAPITANGAMES.

The Combat

CAPITAN is a selection of rules designed to play battles between small groups of troops, such as advance recognition, convoy escort, guerrilla actions, raids on small towns, border posts, incursions into enemy territory, actions against advanced camps, and all those situations where specific tasks were assigned to a few troops of their units.

The troops

In most cases these clashes included small combination of infantry and cavalry, where the training and preparation of the troops was important, unlike the big battles where the big formation groups and the way they were formed was very important (column, line, square, etc.). The gameplay is frenetic and highly addictive.

The important thing, the command

In the CAPITAN situations the individual action of small groups, and the direct command of the groups made by the officers or  non-commissioned officers is primary.
The key, the units

Make the most of your figures

The Unit Cards

The central concept of CAPITAN is the individualization of each game unit. The unique characteristics of each unit is recorded on its own unit card.

Unit types

There are two types of units, the troops and the commanders, each of them is completely different, even if they belong to the same regiment. The difference depends on the unit, but we have tried to ensure the historical realism of the unit’s and commander’s battle behaviour, in CAPITANGAMES military history is our obsession!.

Peninsular War

In this release we have focussed on units based on the peninsular  war, with their great skirmishes and small battles.
