W1815 really surprised me on the first play: I expected a dice fest with wild randomness and little control in a historical setting. But I found a quite tricky dice puzzle. Of course, everything is left to chance, but the actions of the corps with reactions from opponents (even in chains) make the whole thing interesting - I constantly have to assess which risks and opportunities arise. In addition, the corps change depending on the situation and thus change the planning situation. This quickly brings surprisingly much deliberation and planning. Which is then of course rendered useless by the dice. And the whole thing works surprisingly well solo, simply let the dice tell the story of the battle (or a possible alternative story) and influence it by selecting the corps. Very relaxing and plays in 15-30 minutes.
