Le Feu Sacre (LFS)



Le Feu Sacre covers Corps level actions and larger in the Napoleonic era, from 1792 to 1815, with the basic manoeuvre element a battalion and the smallest command level the Brigade. The gamer is placed in the position of a Corps or Army commander.

Ideally played with figures from 6mm to 15mm, Le Feu Sacre focus on the importance of command and control on the battlefield combined with the impact of what Clausewitz calls battlefield friction. The result is a set of rules that is fast and enjoyable to play, but also captures to true feel of the period.

The current version of Le Feu Sacre, the third edition, was released in 2009.

LFS Variants
Tea, Taxes and Tories, an LFS variant for the American War of Independence was published in the 2006 Christmas Special.
