Take command as either the American colonies or the British Empire and shape the future of a nation, with 10 historical battles. You will face the same tactical challenges as generals such as George Washington and William Howe, with missions of varying size and objectives, and 24 different combat units. As with previous strategy games from Hunted Cow, every effort has been made to capture the look and feel of the warfare methods, equipment and uniform of the day, and this title is no exception. In these battles players will also find the detailed and accurate maps, orders of battle, and named regiments from the well-loved Decision Games board game.

Needs more scenarios ### 5/5 — Non-Trivial game for a trifle *2016-05-19, version 1.6* Another great title from Hunted Cow/Hexwar. This game is rich historically and tactically, and rewards repeated play. The graphics are very nice, even on my iPad mini. The price is negligible for a game this deep (and fun!). ### 5/5 — Another great game *2015-12-11, version 1.6* Gives a great feel for the period with fun playability. Well done. ### 3/5 — Good but not many scenarios *2015-12-10, version 1.6* This game has some new options, like the ability to combine units, that make it a bit better than some of the other Hunted Cow titles (I have them all!) but it fell short by only giving about 10 scenarios. You can play for either side, but that's still only 20 scenarios and other HC games offer much more, and some like Ancient Rome offer $0.99 expansion maps. It's a fun game but feels a little skimpy. ### 3/5 — Great game, broken software *2015-07-29, version 1.2* I like the period, the interface, the graphics. What I hate is having to restart the game constantly because the system won't let me end the turner it says I've moved everything when I haven't. I also hate not having a back button or a "you sure you want the turn to end" option. So, if you can stand a lot of frustration, it's a great game and can be a 5 when they fix it. ### 1/5 — Locks up *2015-07-10, version 1.2* Title says it all. Cannot get past game turn 8. ## Frequently asked questions about Rebels and Redcoats ### What is Rebels and Redcoats?
