I've recently published a game called Napoleonic Terror. It's had over 50 downloads on Wargame Vault in its first month, so I thought I'd share it here as people might find the concept interesting.

So, what is Napoleonic Terror?

A black powder wargame of cosmic horror.

Napoleonic Terror is an asymmetrical tabletop wargame where disciplined Human armies battle an ever-expanding alien ecosystem.

In the autumn of 1811, Napoleon's Comet appeared over Europe. Unknown to mankind, it carried alien spores that would become known as the Infection. As strange growths spread across the countryside and entire villages vanished, the armies of Europe found themselves facing a foe unlike anything they had ever encountered.

The Human player relies on tactical planning, formations, and Order Cards to coordinate infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The Infection player manages resources to grow new organisms, expand across the battlefield, and overwhelm humanity.

Features

• Fast-play tabletop wargame rules
• Asymmetrical Human and Infection factions
• Tactical Order Card command system
• Medium-scale battles using existing Napoleonic miniatures
• Printable Order Cards and reference sheets
• Narrative horror atmosphere
• Black powder warfare against monstrous alien creatures

The game is designed to create cinematic battles filled with desperate last stands, artillery bombardments, bayonet charges, cavalry assaults, and overwhelming alien swarms.

Napoleonic Terror is currently available as a Pay What You Want download on Wargame Vault and remains an active project, with future updates planned based on player feedback and playtesting.
