Napoleonica: Steel and Magic

Solo Campaign
4 months 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!

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!

Two more stretchgoals unlocked!

Thanks to your continued support, we’re happy to announce that two more stretch goals have been unlocked!

The Reinforcement Track component will now be upgraded for all pledges.
Instead of the original paper version, it will now be produced with a rubber backing, making it more stable on the table and more comfortable to use during the game.

We’ve also unlocked a new scenario element - the Redoubt, which will now be included in The Emperor Pledge.

This fortified position can be used in scenarios and narrative battles, adding more tactical options and atmosphere to your games.

Solo mode on Tabletopia
5 months ago – Sat, Mar 14, 2026 at 09:45:41 AM

We’re happy to share that the solo mode “Solo Battle — clash with NPC” is now available to try on Tabletopia.

You can now play a full solo battle and experience how the game works: NPC units activating through their action deck, reacting to your moves, and putting constant pressure on your army as the battle unfolds.

Alongside this, we’ve also published a new video on YouTube explaining the rules of this solo mode. If you’d like to see how the system works before jumping into the game, this is a great place to start.

In the video, you can follow how the solo turn structure works: NPC activation, reactions, counterattacks, and the overall flow of the battle.

If you’re curious about Napoleonica’s solo gameplay, we encourage you to try the Solo Battle mode on Tabletopia and watch the rules video.

And if this mode interests you, don’t forget to follow our Kickstarter updates and join our Discord, where we continue sharing gameplay details, new scenarios, and development updates.

Napoleonica Gameplay Videos in German and French
5 months ago – Thu, Mar 12, 2026 at 09:20:21 AM

We’re happy to share four new videos that walk through the gameplay of Napoleonica: Steel and Magic, explaining the flow of the game and its core mechanics in German and French.

Two of the videos demonstrate a regular turn in the standard game mode, while the other two introduce how a turn works in the solo mode. If you prefer one of these languages, this is a great place to start exploring the mechanics of the game.

In these videos, you can follow how a round unfolds: unit activations, movement, combat, and the key decisions that shape the battlefield.

As we mentioned earlier, our plan for release is to make the rulebook available in several additional languages. Alongside English, the rules will be translated into:

• French
• German
• Spanish

All versions will be freely downloadable from our website once they are ready.

If this is important for you, we encourage you to follow our Kickstarter updates and join our Discord — we may ask the community for help with proofreading and feedback once the translations are prepared.
