From Press Release:
[January 20th, 2026] – Tactical Boar has announced Veterans: Napoleonic Wars, a premium real-time tactics and strategy game set during the Napoleonic Wars. Coming to Steam, Veterans: Napoleonic War places players in command of historical armies, focusing on mastering formations, maintaining morale, and making tactical decisions across recreated battlefields.
On the battlefields of the late 1790s, combat is built around accurate formations such as line, column, and square, with morale and unit experience playing a critical role in victory or defeat. As campaigns progress, units gain veterancy, allowing players to shape and customize their armies while adapting to increasingly complex tactical scenarios. The use of artillery emphasizes the importance of troop maneuvering, reinforcing the importance of positioning and timing during engagements.
Blending strategic depth with accessible, fast-paced gameplay, Veterans: Napoleonic Wars delivers a focused single-player experience centered on tactical missions and historically grounded encounters, supported by a grounded visual style that captures the intensity of battle.
Key Features:
- Historical Campaigns: Battles inspired by Napoleonic campaigns from 1796–1797
