There are Special Rules for certain Leaders, Commanders, Assault Units, the Cossacks, Weather, and Darkness(dusk & night). Victory is tallied by occupying Towns, killing Leaders- while eliminating Napoleon results in Automatic Victory, Demoralizing Unit's Formations and only one side will receive Victory Points for their Morale level, whichever is lowest at the end of 28 turns.
