An ingeniously simple set of Napoleonic wargames rules by Jervis Johnson, Alan Perry, and Michael Perry.

Valour & Fortitude (V&F) is a set of tabletop wargame rules designed for fighting battles using the Perry Miniatures ranges of plastic and metal figures and bases. It is played by two or more players, divided into two sides. Each side has an army, made up of figures organised into units and leaders. Units and leaders from the armies are formed into brigades that are commanded by the side’s players.

As well as the figures, players will need army sheets, a scenario, dice, tape measures, playing cards and markers. Normal six-sided dice (D6) and a standard pack of 52 playing cards are also required. Markers are used to record the losses and setbacks suffered by an army and can be represented by a small coin or casualty figure.
