Embark on your Napoleonic journey
Embarking on your venture into Napoleonic Wargaming begins optimally with the purchase of The Battle of Hougoumont. This introductory game serves as a foundational military drill school, crafted to equip you with essential skills for larger and more complex engagements. We recommend that after honing these skills, you consider enhancing your experience by acquiring our flagship game, The Battle of Waterloo.

Gaming modes
In "Marshals Unleashed," players are presented with a versatile gaming experience, enabling them to engage in their preferred war gaming styles including historical scenarios, nation versus nation clashes, and random map challenges. For historical gameplay, the game accurately provides the historical order of battles tailored to specific historic encounters. Alternatively, in nation versus nation or random map modes, players have the freedom to design their own campaigns or delve into unpredictable battles featuring their chosen nations. Each nation boasts the capacity to deploy up to 80 units; however, this excludes the Brunswick corps which has its own unique limitations.

Customize your game
Enhance your gaming experience with our collection of battlemaps, custom units, and accessories. Our fully integrated games for the Battles of Waterloo and Hougoumont include downloadable maps, units, and game icons in a complete package. All additional products are available for individual purchase to complement your gaming needs as desired. For those interested in engaging with historical battles, certain nations must be acquired to authentically recreate these events. These specific nations can be purchased alongside your chosen historical battle set to ensure a comprehensive gameplay experience.

Tutorials
There are two primary methods for learning how to play Marshals Unleashed. Firstly, you can access comprehensive tutorials on our website under the 'Tutorials' section, which will equip you with all the necessary information to begin playing. Alternatively, we offer a detailed manual available for purchase in our shop. Should you choose to acquire The Battle of Waterloo or Hougoumont, the manual is included as part of your download package.

Printing
For the best results, we recommend printing the package at a local professional printer store as the colors may vary when printed from the screen. Print the battlemaps on a 150-200gr or 40-54 lb poster print. For a sturdier feel, you can print the battle map directly onto materials like foam board or on Frontlit PVC Banner. For printing at home, you can utilize online resources like "Posterizer Online." This tool allows you to efficiently segment both maps into tiles for easy at-home printing. Simply choose your preferred format and configure the layout. Learn more about building your Marshals Unleashed game visiting the tutorial page.

When it comes to the game pieces, it is recommended to print them on either semi-glossy or matte A4 size paper or 8.5x11 inches size paper. The maximum weight for the paper should be around 150-200 grams or 40-54 lb. You can find both formats available in JPEG files for your convenience. Cut the units to size using a cutting mat, glue roller, a Stanley knife and ruler. Fold the units into the correct shape using the ruler and the horizontal strip as a guide. Glue the white parts together, pressing gently after gluing to make sure no air bubbles remain.

Equipment
For achieving the best and quickest results, equip yourself with a cutting board, a reliable Stanley knife, a metal ruler, and a second ruler or a geo triangle. To seal your work, we recommend using glue rollers for the unit displays and regular tape for the maps. To optimize your gaming experience, it is essential to utilize two 16mm blank dice. For those who wish to avoid the inconvenience of procuring physical dice and applying stickers, we offer an accessible alternative through our virtual dice available on our website.
