John Company And the Conquest of India: Miniature Wargame Rules for Warfare on The Sub-Continent 1750-1860 Paperback – July 2, 2022

John Company allows war gamers the opportunity to experience the adventure and challenge of warfare in India. A variety of worthy foes await you on the table tops of the Sub-Continent. Not only the climate and topography, but now it’s possible to face a host of enemies with different styles of warfare. Can you do as well as Clive when outnumbered by over ten to one? Can you lead the charge, have your horse “piked,” and still press on as Wellesley did at Assaye? Can you face the Khalsa’s Artillery—the best in Asia—with cold steel, like Gough?Native Chieftains have their own problems. Hordes of fierce warriors do not an army make. You may have great numbers, and hundreds of guns, in positions of your choosing, but can you control and animate your forces to act when and how you want them to? Can you make a battle plan that allows your advantages to strike the winning blow and prevent the Feringhees from controlling the battlefield?John Company presents such problems, not as mere tactical exercises, but as questions of Leadership unlike any other war-game. Real human reactions to the stresses of combat are at the heart of these rules and the man who best understands the human, as well as the physical, limitations of his troops is the General who will consistently bring back victory.
