A standout addition is the deck of Napoleonic Tactician cards. Comprising 50 cards, this deck enriches the Napoleonic experience by amplifying the role of leaders on the battlefield without introducing additional complexity or extensive new rules. Tactician cards bring an element of suspense and strategic challenge, affecting gameplay through leader actions, battlefield events, or unit abilities. These cards can hinder the opposing army, enhance a player's units, or even dramatically alter the course of a battle. The number of Tactician cards each player uses is specified in the scenario notes, and earlier scenarios require players to consult the Commander Tactician Rating Reference Card—a comprehensive guide listing all Commands & Colors Napoleonics scenarios with a tactician rating for each army.
