Table feel

Lasalle has a high level of direct confrontation and strategic depth in confrontation. Players need to be aware of and react to each other's strategies frequently. However, there is less emphasis on cooperation in the game.

Replay value

Lasalle has a high replayability score due to its high variability in gameboard, availability of expansions, deep strategic possibilities, and good scalability. The game offers different experiences each time it is played and allows players to improve their strategy over time. The player interaction score is moderate, and the game adapts well to different player counts. While it may not be the easiest game to learn, it offers a good balance between depth and ease of learning.

Luck profile

Lasalle has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. Players have substantial ability to mitigate randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is primarily determined by player strategy and decisions, with luck playing a minor role.

Overview

"Lasalle" is a miniatures wargame for two or more players, and is the first wargame in the HONOUR series. Players take the role of a brigade or division commander in the Napoleonic Wars. The game is small-scale and tactical in nature, focusing on the movement of individual battalions and regiments of cavalry. The player will manage a small force of roughly a dozen units as he tries to complete some specific mission assigned to him, such as “Hold the village and our bridgehead at all costs!” or: “Drive the French from Plancenoit!” From the publisher's website: Lasalle is ideal for a small gaming table, and it plays in real-time with most battles lasting 2-3 hours. It is perfect for pick-up games or tournament play. It therefore includes sample army lists enabling players to collect and paint typical small forces from a large number of possible nationalities. If you have a club, or a larger collection and gaming area, Lasalle can also be used to simulate historical battles of the Napoleonic Wars, such as Quatre Bras, Albuera, Saalfeld, or Eggmühl. In these cases, multiple players with multiple forces and a larger table will allow your group to simulate the excitement of a significant battle.
