Commands & Colors: Tricorne – The American Revolution, designed by Richard Borg, recreates the key battles of the American War of Independence using the acclaimed Commands & Colors game system.
Built on a card-driven command system, players use Command cards to control troop movement while Battle dice resolve combat quickly and efficiently — creating both tactical depth and a realistic “fog of war”.
While accessible and not overly complex, Tricorne introduces new mechanics that reflect the unique battlefield tactics and doctrines of the British and Continental armies. Each side has its own Combat card deck, adding historical flavour and strategic asymmetry.
The scale varies by scenario, allowing the system to represent both major engagements and smaller skirmishes. Depending on the battle, a unit may represent an entire brigade or just a few companies.
Linear tactics and battlefield morale are central themes. Unlike other titles in the series, unit losses tend to be lighter — but morale plays a decisive role. A unit forced to retreat may break and rout even after minimal casualties, keeping tension high throughout the battle.
The game includes 12 historical battles, including:
Bunker Hill (1775)
Long Island (1776)
Freeman’s Farm (1777)
Bemis Heights (1777)
Monmouth (1778)
Camden (1780)
Cowpens (1781)
Guilford Courthouse (1781)
Hobkirk’s Hill (1781)
Eutaw Springs (1781)
Each scenario features a stylised battlefield map highlighting key terrain and historical deployment.
