It completely sold out its initial printing in six months.
Zouave II is an extensive update of the original incorporating the new Command Rondel tool. Zouave II captures the high level command capabilities and decisions of all armies of this period, but does not slight the elements of tactical combat, or the pure fun of playing the game.
Requires only commonly available gaming tools. A deck of cards and some multi-sided dice, and plays quickly enough that a 2-3 corps game of 6-8 divisions. Over two dozen regiments or over seventy battalions, and more than twenty batteries a side may be played in less than 4 hours. A typical 8 foot by 4 foot table will serve as a miniature battlefield for 1500 figures or more!
Zouave II uses many new and innovative game mechanics and tools, but actual play is simple and direct. Zouave its best with 2-3 players a side. Explore this site and learn more.
