The pledge manager is now live, and we would like to clarify a few important points to help you navigate the available add-ons.


All stretch goals are now available for purchase.
This includes both unlocked and previously unreached stretch goals. You can add any of them to your order in the pledge manager.


If you want to replace all gameplay tokens in scenarios with physical scenario elements, you will need the following:
1 The Well
1 set Three Pennants
1 Supply Cart
2 sets of Dummies

The British faction is also available in token format and includes maneuver cards, allowing you to play this faction fully without miniatures.

We have also released a new video showing a PvP scenario.
It is a great way to see how the game plays and how battles unfold on the table.

Solo Campaign
15 days ago – Fri, Apr 03, 2026 at 06:42:36 AM

We’ve just released a new video dedicated to one of the most ambitious parts of Napoleonica — the solo campaign mode.

In this video, we walk through the key mechanics and components that define the campaign experience. Unlike a single battle, this mode allows you to conduct an entire military campaign, combining tactical engagements with strategic decisions on a larger scale.

It’s a fully developed mode with its own pacing, decisions, and structure — offering a different perspective on the world of Napoleonica.

If you’re interested in solo play, we highly recommend taking a look at the video.

Campaign has successfully completed!
about 1 month ago – Mon, Mar 16, 2026 at 06:55:37 AM

Our Napoleonica: Steel and Magic Kickstarter campaign has successfully completed!

We want to say a sincere thank you to everyone who supported the project, shared it with friends, asked questions, and followed the campaign along the way. Thanks to you, the idea of a fantasy wargame set in the Napoleonic era will now become a reality.

Your support means that Napoleonica will soon move to a finished game — one that we hope you will enjoy on the table with friends, exploring tactical battles, alternate history, and the clash between empires and the forces of the Abyss.

We also hope you’ll enjoy experimenting with the solo modes, discovering new scenarios and challenges when playing on your own.

And of course, if you chose a pledge with miniatures, we look forward to seeing your armies assembled and painted.

This is only the beginning of Napoleonica’s story, thank you for helping us bring it to life.

The pledge manager will start working at the beginning of April. Stay tuned!
