San Fermo

Acerca de

The Battle of San Fermo took place the 27 May 1859 at a mountain pass near lake Como in northern Italy. It was an engagement during the Second Italian War of Independence in which the Italian volunteers of Giuseppe Garibaldi's Hunters of the Alps defeated an Austrian force, forcing the Austrians to abandon the town of Como. San Fermo is the first wargame of the N-SB (Small Battles) series and is also the first one dedicated to the Italian Risorgimento. Players can play both the phases of the battle or the entire battle with optional rules for better Austrian training and troop control. Based on activation chits and operative orders, the game system is centered on the totally different battleground of Italian theatre that forced both armies to fight battles "hand to mouth" sending in company after company. Counters represent single companies, cavalry squadrons and half batteries.
